Subject: skip flaky tests

The ERT tests for flycheck's built-in checkers break when the output
of various command line tools changes.  This happens often in Debian
sid, and upstream do not have the time to fix the failures.

ERT tests of fundamental flycheck functionality remain enabled, and
this does not affect the Buttercup test suite.
