Description
The tests mod in stdarch is really big. We should split them into their own files instead of inline them into other mods.
This has been discussed for libstd in https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/344.
Also see some other tricks in https://matklad.github.io/2021/02/27/delete-cargo-integration-tests.html.

Research direction
Start by locating the large inline cfg(test) modules in stdarch and review the linked libstd discussion and blog post for the intended file-splitting approach. Done means the test modules have their own files instead of being inline in other modules, with the stdarch test suite still passing.
