dash_R() function of libregrtest doesn't call support.gc_collect()
directly anymore: it's already called by dash_R_cleanup().
Call dash_R_cleanup() before starting the loop.
Fix reference leak hunting in regrtest: compute also deltas (of
reference count, allocated memory blocks, file descriptor count)
during warmup, to ensure that everything is initialized before
starting to hunt reference leaks.
Other changes:
* Replace gc.collect() with support.gc_collect()
* Move calls to read memory statistics from dash_R_cleanup() to
dash_R()
* Pass regrtest 'ns' to dash_R()
* dash_R() is now more quiet with --quiet option (don't display
progress).
* Precompute the full range for "for it in range(repcount):" to
ensure that the iteration doesn't allocate anything new.
* dash_R() now is responsible to call warm_caches().
Use a pool of integer objects toprevent false alarm when checking for
memory block leaks. Fill the pool with values in -1000..1000 which
are the most common (reference, memory block, file descriptor)
differences.

* bpo-26732: fix too many fds in processes started with the "forkserver" method
A child process would inherit as many fds as the number of still-running children.
* Add blurb and test comment
* Change the regrtest --huntrleaks checker to decide if a test file
leaks or not. Require that each run leaks at least 1 reference.
* Warmup runs are now completely ignored: ignored in the checker test
and not used anymore to compute the sum.
* Add an unit test for a reference leak.
Example of reference differences previously considered a failure
(leak) and now considered as success (success, no leak):
[3, 0, 0]
[0, 1, 0]
[8, -8, 1]
* Fix "-m test --forever": replace _test_forever() with self._test_forever()
* Add unit test for --forever
* Add unit test for a failing test
* Fix also some pyflakes warnings in libregrtest
