testing: don't create unique subtest names while fuzzing

T.Run uses a map[string]int64 to keep track of subtest names that may
be returned through T.Name. T.Name can't return duplicate names for
subtests started with T.Run.

If a fuzz target calls T.Run, this map takes a large amount of memory,
since there are a very large number of subtests that would
otherwise have duplicate names, and the map stores one entry per subtest.
The unique suffixes are not useful (and may be confusing) since the
full sequence of tests cannot be re-run deterministically.

This change deletes all entries in the map before each call to the
function being fuzzed. There is a slight change in the contract of
T.Name while fuzzing.

This change was discussed in CL 351452.

Fixes #44517
