Clear created attributes when tearing down tests

unittest will keep each test case around after completion pinning any
objects references by attributes on the test case. This can bloat
the memory used during a full test suite run to the point where
the test suite will require much more memory than running all of
the services does. On systems witout lots of memory, test suite
failures will occur as test cases cannot fork to execute programs.

Clearing out __dict__ of any attributes that don't start with a _
(since some are needed by unittest itself) reduces memory
significantly. This does require the super class tearDown to be
called last in some cases however.
