Packaging tests: don’t let an internal cache grow indefinitely.

Victor Stinner diagnosed on #12167 that some reference leaks came from
util._path_created, a set used for caching; there are two tests that
cause additions to this set, so now they clear it in tearDown, avoiding
17 refleaks.  (My tests show that it’s necessary to clear the set in
only one test, clearing it in both does not stop more refleaks, but
there’s no harm in doing it.)
