ActionView::Template instances compile their source to methods on the
ActionView::CompiledTemplates module. To prevent leaks in development
mode, where templates can frequently change, a finalizer is added that
undefines these methods[1] when the templates are garbage-collected.
This is undesirable in the test environment, however, as templates don't
change during the life of the test. Moreover, the cost of undefining a
method is proportional to the number of descendants a class or module
has, since the method cache must be cleared for all descendant classes.
As ActionView::CompiledTemplates is mixed into every
ActionView::TestCase (or in RSpec suites, every view spec example
group), it can end up with a very large number of descendants, and
undefining its methods can become very expensive.
In large test suites, this results in a long delay at the end of the
test suite as all template finalizers are run, only for the process to
then exit.
To avoid this unnecessary cost, this change adds a config option,
`action_view.finalize_compiled_template_methods`, defaulting to true,
and sets it to false in the test environment only.
