[issue39253] Running the test suite with --junit-xml and -R incorrectly reports refleaks

[Steve Dower]

My guess would be that the reference tracking needs some kind of awareness for logging results. The results are collected as regular Python objects and formatted later, as we need to calculate totals before writing the XML file.

I guess keeping those objects around looks like a leak?
