run-tests: avoid running the same test instance concurrently

There's a fair amount of mutable state stored on test case
instances. That causes many weird failures if you try to do something
like `run-tests.py -j16 --loop test-help.t`. The quick fix is this
slightly weird test-reloading dance, which ensures that every time a
test is executed it runs on a fresh instance of the TestCase subclass.
