test_runner: remove redundant bootstrap boolean

The test runner bootstrap process awaits a Promise and then sets
a boolean flag. This commit consolidates the Promise and boolean
into a single value. This commit also ensures that the globalRoot
test is always assigned in createTestTree() in order to better
consolidate the CLI/run() and non-CLI configuration.
