Caleb Spare bc29313722 testing: add TB.Helper to better support test helpers
This CL implements the proposal at
https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/4899-testing-helper.md.

It's based on Josh's CL 79890043 from a few years ago:
https://codereview.appspot.com/79890043 but makes several changes,
most notably by using the new CallersFrames API so that it works with
mid-stack inlining.

Another detail came up while I was working on this: I didn't want the
user to be able to call t.Helper from inside their TestXxx function
directly (which would mean we'd print a file:line from inside the
testing package itself), so I explicitly prevented this from working.

Fixes #4899.
