FWIW this wasn't a "while at it", it was critical to making another part
of that topic work at all.

It adds a "check" mode, which I use to check that the
TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true markings are correct.

Intrinsic to how that works (and [1] has more details) is that we "pass"
all tests, when some of them really failed under SANITIZE=leak. I.e. a
failure of a test not opted in to TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true is
considered OK.

Without fee65b194d that combined with GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true
added in the same topic would make post-test leak analysis I do useless,
because before fee65b194d the Makefile made the assumption that
"test-results" directories were only need in case the tests failed.
