[llvm] [flang-rt] Enable lit internal shell by default (PR #156095)

[Aiden Grossman via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/boomanaiden154 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/156095

This patch enables the lit internal shell by default for testing flang-rt. The lit internal shell is able to run tests a bit faster as it avoids having to fork bash for every run line and also produces nicer debug information on failures.

This is part of #102704.
