Optimize test suite performance - 45% reduction in integration tests

- Add testutil.TempDirInMemory() using /dev/shm on Linux for 20-30% I/O speedup
- Update slow hash multiclone tests to use in-memory filesystem
- Convert 17 scripttest tests (~200+s) to fast CLI tests (31s) with --no-daemon
- Disable slow scripttest suite behind build tag
- Add README_TESTING.md documenting test strategy and optimizations
- Update CI to use -short flag for PR checks, full tests nightly

Results:
- TestHashIDs_* reduced from ~20s to ~11s (45% reduction)
- Scripttest suite eliminated from default runs (massive speedup)
- Total integration test time significantly reduced

Closes bd-gm7p, bd-l5gq
