Finalize both test allocators.

These tests create gpa but never call gpa.deinit(). The tests therefore do not detect allocator leaks.

Proposed fix 
 var gpa = test_utils.createTestAllocator();
 const allocator = gpa.allocator();
+defer std.debug.assert(gpa.deinit() == .ok);

instances near both referenced locations, so gpa.deinit() runs when each test
