AggregatorLocalTasksTest causes the GitLab CI pipeline to time out

It's also worth noting that the PHP docs for dirname() explicitly say this:
Be careful when using this function in a loop that can reach the top-level directory as this can result in an infinite loop.

I feel certain that this is the cause of the GitLab failure.

Can we use the DRUPAL_ROOT constant here to achieve something similar?

I think so. It passes for me locally when I use it. Let's see what happens here.

For the record, this change fixed the infinite loop that made GitLab CI time out. Unfortunately, the updated tests failed.

I realize now that the setUp() function was updated for the contrib version of Aggregator. I made some bad assumptions about it because of the $core_dir variable. I assumed it had been like that since the time when Aggregator was actually nested inside of Drupal's core directory. But I see that the code is actually looking for Drupal's docroot.

This doesn't really change anything. I'm still not sure why the updated test is failing on GitLab CI. I only wanted to correct my earlier mistake.

This patch passed on GitLab CI. If it passes here, then it'll be ready.
