Compiler tests use the old test infrastructure, but fir2ir tests use the
new one (tests-common-new). Removing this dependency means that now the
two big modules, `:compiler:compileTestKotlin` and
`:compiler:tests-common-new:compileTestKotlin` can be compiled in
parallel, which improves the total build time.
The problems in JVM IR backend in these modules are fixed by:
* kapt3-cli -- 1c527fc1
* frontend -- 174b3db7
* daemon-common-new -- 6fe214d8 & d17afdda
This option has no effect on the production code. But in a custom
scenario of a local bootstrap, where the compiler is replaced with the
one where JVM IR backend is enabled by default, this option allows to
switch back to the old backend.
All of these arguments (except the one for compiling experimental
coroutines) are supposed to go away as soon as we fix related problems
in the JVM IR backend.
