Grouping our tests should make it easier to understand the intent than one long poorly-arranged list. It also is convenient for running just the tests for a specific component when working on that component. We need at least one test group so this isn't dead code; I decided to collect the tests for the `ca-derivations` and `dynamic-derivations` experimental features in groups. Do ```bash make ca.test-group -jN ``` and ```bash make dyn-drv.test-group -jN ``` to try running just them. I originally did this as part of #8397 for being able to just the local overlay store alone. I am PRing it separately now so we can separate general infra from new features.
