Optimize test-suite

VCS tests are *very* slow; it took a substantial amount of work (this is a squash of 35 commits by two authors with debugging help from @Mistuke as well) to get the test suite and build process fast enough that they can run along with the rest of it in under an hour (the Appveyor limit).
