platform_transition_test: Use transitioned target platform

The target platform of a test rule matters for the resolution of the execution platform of the test action, either via test toolchains or `--use_target_platform_for_tests`. With an outgoing transition, tests would run on the wrong platform in these cases, so use an incoming transition for the test rule.
