#25176: TestCase: an error in setUpTestData snowballs across the entire test
suite

--------------------------------------+--------------------
If a setUpTestData function fails, it causes an error that breaks the
current transaction; this is not undone by TestCase, and thus all
following database access in all other tests fails, outputting a lot of
ERRORs on a test run, and making it hard to debug that it was only the
*first* one that has an actual problem. The atomic instances can be exited
cleanly on exception fairly easily inside the TestCase code.
