Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

The unittest.subTest context (i.e. the object you get using with's as clause, currently None) should get methods to manage cleanups:

• addCleanup
• enterContext
• doCleanups

And similar ones for IsolatedAsyncIOTestCase.

They should do the same thing as the same methods on TestCase, but with subtest scope.
Example usage:

for param in 'a', 'b', 'c':
    with self.subTest() as sub:
        tempfile = make_tempfile()
        sub.addCleanup(os.unlink, tempfile)
        do_actual_test(tempfile, param)

See Discuss thread for motivation/discussion.
