test: use t.Context() instead of context.Background() (#1306)

The test context is cancelled when the test ends, so anything still holding it stops instead of leaking into the next test. Uses inside `t.Cleanup`, `defer` and `go func` blocks are left alone, as the context is already cancelled there.

Stacked on https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1305.
