Clean up test server after running unit tests #261
Description
If a unit test is successful, delete everything it saved on the server. Otherwise, it's hard to have a clean server that is useful for testing purposes. One way to achieve this: add a 'sentinel' string, i.e. a unique random string, to everything that is uploaded. At unit test shutdown time, search for everything with that string and remove it from the server via an API call.

On a successful publish, a new entity_type/entity_id is generated. On using
openml.utils._delete_entity(entity_type, entity_id), the entity_type/entity_id is no longer available on the test server.On re-publishing the same entity again, a new ID is generated, which is the previous ID+1. Is that an acceptable cleanup? Or is the expectation to not increase the file counter, i.e., on deletion, that ID's space will be re-used by subsequent uploads.
