Subject: [PATCH] [ci] Cache importtime-waterfall in the shared venv

The import-time job previously did a `pip install` on every run (~1s
and some noisy output). Moving the pin to `requirements_test.txt` bakes
it into the venv that `common` already builds and caches, so the job
restores it from the cache and skips the install step.
