Avoid memory allocation in some functions from 'ltests.c'

To allow their use in memory tests, some functions in 'ltests.c'
should never allocate memory. To avoid this allocation, the
library registers the strings used for status codes, and keeps
the variable '_WARN' always defined (with false instead of nil).
