run-tests: fix race condition

Before this patch, it was possible for run-tests to crash on a race condition.
The race condition happens in the following case:
- the last test finishes and calls: done.put(None)
- the context switches to the main thread that clears the channels list
- the context switches to the last test mentioned above, it tries to access
channels[channel] and crashes
This happened to me while running run-tests.

This patch fixes the issue by clearing the channel before considering that the
test is done.

  $ hg init
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m test

Do we ever miss a sub-second change?:

  $ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20; do

  >     echo b > a
