testing: skip extra -count iterations if there are no tests

When running benchmarks with high -count and no tests (either at all or
filtered with -run), the time for runTests to check for tests -count
times can add a significant delay to starting benchmarks.

To avoid this delay, make runTests bail out on the second iteration if
the first found no tests to run. We expect the same tests to run every
time, so there is no reason to duplicate work.

One caveat: the testing docs do not explicitly require the same subtests
to be run on every call, so this could break tests that depend on
multiple runs to actually run all tests. I consider such tests invalid,
but some may exist.

Fixes #49050
