Subject: [PATCH] refs #12080 - testrunner: do not create test implementation
 until it is used (#6691)

Greatly improves the start-up time because it no longer needs to create
all the implementations before it runs any test.

The following times are using a debug build.

Before: `bin/testrunner TestColor 1,16s user 0,07s system 99% cpu 1,235
total`

After: `bin/testrunner TestColor 0,00s user 0,00s system 88% cpu 0,009
total`
