Use go test as unit test runner

Problem: Switching to using ginkgo as the test runner caused some issues with verbose output and difficulty finding test failures. This could also be exacerbated by the fact that we mix standard go test style with ginkgo framework tests.

Solution: For now, switch back to using go test as the runner, since the output is cleaner and easier to find errors.
