Cuong Manh Le 723c7827ba fix: stop self-upgrade tests from fork-bombing the windows test runner
The test:windows CI job intermittently failed to clean up .testbin with
"Access to the path '...cmd_cli.test.exe' is denied". This was previously
attributed to Windows Defender scanning the large unsigned test binaries,
and mitigated with Defender exclusions and cleanup retries. That was
treating a symptom.

Root cause: performUpgrade() self-upgrades by running
exec.Command(os.Executable(), "upgrade", "prod", "-vv") as a detached,
windowless child. In the real ctrld binary this re-execs ctrld and is
correct. Under `go test`, os.Executable() is the test binary itself, and
`go test` stops flag parsing at the first positional arg ("upgrade") and
ignores the rest -- so the child silently re-runs the entire test suite.
That child hits the upgrade tests again and spawns more detached children,
recursively: a fork bomb of hidden processes that pins the runner's
CPU/memory and keeps the test binary's image file locked. Windows refuses
to delete the image of a running process, hence the "Access is denied"
during after_script. Whether any children are still alive when cleanup
runs is a timing race, which is why the failure was flaky.

Two tests reached this path: Test_performUpgrade (directly) and
Test_selfUpgradeCheck (via selfUpgradeCheck -> performUpgrade on the
"upgrade allowed" case).

Fix:
- prog.go: extract the command construction into a package-level
  newUpgradeCmd var. Production behavior is unchanged.
- main_test.go: stub newUpgradeCmd once in TestMain so the whole test
  binary self-execs with `-test.run=^$` (matches no tests, exits
  immediately) instead of re-running the suite. This covers every test
  that reaches performUpgrade, present and future, while still exercising
  the cmd.Start() success path.
