Comment (by nerrad):

 So as brought up in slack, switching `$factory` to a static property blows
 up plugins extending that WP_UnitTestCase and the WP factory.  The patch I
 added in fix-blown-up-factory.diff will fix it for plugins and I think
 preserve the intent with the changes, but of course means that all the
 changes made in WordPress testcases using the static property will need
 updated to use $_factory instead.  I didn't have time to go through and do
 this for this patch but just threw this up for now in case it helps.
