testutils.skip/ci: set COCKROACH_NIGHTLY_STRESS during nightlies

Previously, `skip.Stress` returned true if either
COCKROACH_STRESS or COCKROACH_NIGHTLY_STRESS env var
was set. After switching to engflow, neither is set.
Hence all unit tests under either `skip.Stress` or
`skip.NightlyStress` were _not_ skipped. In contrast,
`./dev test ... --stress` sets COCKROACH_STRESS, hence
unit tests under `skip.Stress` _are_ skipped.

Occassionally, a unit test's configuration might be
conditional on whether it's running in nightlies.
To keep things backward compatible, we set
`COCKROACH_NIGHTLY_STRESS` during engflow stress
nightlies and update `skip.Stress` predicate to return
true iff `COCKROACH_STRESS` is set.

Effectively, `skip.Stress` now denotes whether a
test is executing locally under `./dev test ... --stress`,
and `skip.NightlyStress` now denotes whether a test is
executing remotely (via engflow) during the nightlies.

Epic: none
Release note: None
