This patch enables lit's internal shell by default now that all
REQUIRES: shell tests have been update to not require shell features not
available in lit and all unresolved tests have been fixed.

This should speed up test runtime by a bit and will give nicer error
messaging.

Fixes #<!-- -->102701.
