Ditto; my direct goal is just to be able to run something more fine grained than `ninja check-lldb-api`, but splitting tests & test framework is a nice side benefit. (Actually it might be simpler if I didn't split it, but now I've already done the work).

SGTM. I can adjust that paths so there is no shim "test" directory. Will await resolution of the specific paths as chosen below:

Any of these options are fine with me. Actually, they seem most logical in the order you've listed -- the last one seems kind of weird that "API" implicitly means python, and there are other non-python API tests elsewhere.
