[issue29512] regrtest refleak: implement bisection feature

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

It would be great to be able to list which methods cause a reference leak.

Example right now on the 3.6 branch:
----
$ ./python -m test -R 3:3 test_os 
Run tests sequentially
0:00:00 [1/1] test_os
beginning 6 repetitions
123456
......
test_os leaked [124, 124, 124] references, sum=372
test_os leaked [114, 114, 114] memory blocks, sum=342
test_os failed in 32 sec

1 test failed:
    test_os

Total duration: 32 sec
Tests result: FAILURE
----

Which methods caused the refleak?

Is it possible to list test methods of a test file using unittest?
