build: remove unused gulp test watch code (angular#18077)

We can remove the unused code for `gulp test` and `gulp test:static`.
The equivalent actions can be performed with Bazel and with the upcoming
script that simplifies the testing workflow, there is no need for
keeping this code in the codebase. All the concerns that have been
mentioned in the old PR (angular#16904) have been resolved.
