[pacman-dev] [PATCH 03/11] pactest: delay test object creation

[Andrew Gregory]

The actual test object is only used to run the test.  Storing test cases
as strings limits the test object scope and allows it to be garbage
collected, reducing memory usage when multiple tests are run.

This only affects calling pactest.py with multiple tests; `make check`, which
runs each test in a separate instance, is unaffected.
