Makes sense to try to make sure that we don't regress leak-free tests. I
don't know what our Travis-budget looks like, but I would volunteer to
run something like this periodically using my own cycles.

My experience with the innards of our Makefiles and test-lib.sh is
non-existant, but from a very cursory look it seems like something as
simple as loading GIT_SKIP_TESTS from a blacklist-file might do the
trick. I could try to look into it in the next couple of days.
