OK.  So the idea is that we do not have sanitizer report per
test_expect_* block but showing the single one over and over,
whether the next test_expect_* block has leaks, is not helpful, so
we just immediately kill the test script after the first leak?

The two-line comment in the middle made me puzzled to see "exit 0"
just above it.  If "--immediate" is asked and we are checking leaks,
shouldn't we be doing finalize_test_case_output regardless of the
"invert" setting?
