Issue:
Testsuite fails under pytest==8.2.0 with `'AsyncHTTPTestCase' has no attribute 'runTest'`
We currently have some test failures in basically all python versions, starting ~2 days ago. At first glance, it looks like an issue with `tornado`'s `AsyncHTTPTestCase`, but `tornado` doesn't have a recent release.

Looking at what projects updated recently, I flagged `pytest` as a good candidate for investigation, and testing with `pytest=8.1.2` works fine. So something related to unittest TestCases changed in 8.2.0 in a way that breaks tornado tests.

For reference, here's one of the error traces:
```
____________________ ERROR collecting tests/test_tornadoparser.py ____________________
.tox/py311/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tornado/testing.py:180: in __init__
    setattr(self, methodName, _TestMethodWrapper(getattr(self, methodName)))

E   AttributeError: 'TestValidateApp' object has no attribute 'runTest'
```

`runTest` looks like a dynamically created method in unittest, whose name gets passed on init to TestCase.
I started looking at changes to `pytest`'s unittest module ( https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/blame/main/src/_pytest/unittest.py ), but I'm out of time for digging into this right now.
