StaticLiveServerTestCase does not properly respect data migrations — at Initial Version

Description

When data migrations exists for a project, it is expected that each test case has these migrations run before running the test.
That is indeed the case for django.tests.TestCase (unit tests), but it is NOT working for django.contrib.staticfiles.testing.StaticLiveServerTestCase (functional tests).

Migrations seem to be run for each class, e.g. MyTestCase(StaticLiveServerTestCase), but not for the methods of this class. That is, if MyTestCase has 3 methods with tests, the migrations are only loaded for the first one, and then the database is wiped, and the objects from the data migration is no longer present for the next two methods.
