run-tests: send the test result after freeing the channel Sending the message about the test being "done" signals to the main thread that a new test can be started. Before this changeset, we sent this signal before freeing the channel, there is room for a race condition where a new test would search for a channel before the old test freed the one it used. This is an example of the failure it would produce: https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/mercurial-devel/-/jobs/552404

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
