Ethan Atkins 8518c4b4fd Place scalatest framework jar in its own classloader
Closing the ManagedClassLoader generated by test can cause nonlocal
effects because the jdk shares some JarFile resources across multiple
URLClassLoaders. As a result, if one classloader is trying to load a
resource and the classloader is closed, it might cause the resource
loading to fail (see https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/5262). This can
be fixed by moving the scalatest framework jar (and its dependencies)
into an additional classloader layer that sits between the scala library
loader and the rest of the test dependencies.

In addition to adding the new layer, I reworked the
ReverseLookupClassLoader to use its dependent classloader to find
resources that may below it in the classloading hierarchy rather than
constructing an entirely new classloader for resources.

After this change, I was able to run test in the repro project:
https://github.com/rjmac/sbt-5262 1000 times with no failures. Note that
the repro is sensitive to the jdk used. I could not reproduce with jdk11
but I could typically induce a failure within 20 or so runs with jdk8.

I benchmarked this change with
https://github.com/eatkins/scala-build-watch-performance and performance
was roughly the same as 1.3.4 with turbo mode and about 200-250ms faster
in non-turbo mode (which can be explained by the time to load the
scalatest classes).
