Description

### Description of the bug:

With Bazel `7.0.0`, py_test will not generate `test.xml` under `bazel-testlogs` folder if test is cached. It generates the files below but not test.xml.

-r-xr-xr-x 1 nlou wheel 180 Jan 16 15:41 test.cache_status
```

It worked ok with bazel 6.4.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing the py_test case with `bazel test` and the listed remote-download and coverage options, checking the generated files under `bazel-testlogs`. Compare a remotely cached run with Bazel 6.4.0 and 7.0.0; done means `test.xml` is generated for the cached test on macOS and Linux.
