testing: tests and benchmarks can assume flag.Parsed

testing.M.Run has this bit of code:

	if !flag.Parsed() {
		flag.Parse()
	}

It makes sense, and it's common knowledge for many Go developers that
test flags are automatically parsed by the time tests and benchmarks are
run. However, the docs didn't clarify that. The previous wording only
mentioned that flag.Parse isn't run before TestMain, which doesn't
necessarily mean that it's run afterwards.

Fixes #38952.
