I believe your commit subject is too long, so I propose another
solution. Since the only thing affected by LUAJIT_TEST_VARDIR is
<utils.profilename>, so I can write something like "test: introduce
utils.profilename helper" and describe its rationale and functions
within the commit message. Are you OK with it?

These are artefacts from not such elegant memprof tests...
