Skip tests that are problematic for glibc-2.34.
The list of problematic ptests was found by Richard after
patching several to work with the new glibc version.

Recently, the none/tests/amd64/fb_test_amd64 test had been flaky and
causing failures on the auto-builder. Until we can get to the root cause
of the issue, we are going to skip the test to reduce the noise from the
ptests.

Install list of non-deterministic threaded ptests to be run using taskset
to force them to a single core. This commit works with b318944d7, which
updated the testing script to run the non-deterministic tests separately
but didn't install the list of tests, so these tests were being run
without taskset.

The taskset_nondeterministic_tests file is the list of tests that will
be run separately with taskset, and ignored during the other tests. This
is installed to /usr/lib/valgrind/ptest similar to the 2 existing lists
for tests to skip on ARM and all architectures.

Removed bar_bad and bar_bad_xml to be included separately as they cause
issues on non-kvm QEMU instances.

See:
   b318944dd7 valgrind: Improve non-deterministic ptest reliability
for more info.

This commit removes the stack_changes ptest from aarch64 devices.
This test is buggy and fails almost 100% of the time in qemuarm64.
In general, many of the valgrind tests are more likely to fail on
qemuarm64 vs native x86_64.

This test previously worked on gatesgarth and dunfell, but has
been failing since hardknott. It might be due to a recent change
in the cross-compiler or glibc.
The test runs fine when running natively on arm on a Raspberry Pi.

Until we can find the root cause for the failures, this shorter
term solution should clear up some of the noise from the autobuilder
from a known failure.

<content type='text'>
Several of the valgrind tests (particulaly helgrind) are unreliable and
can fail with a different output.

Particularly, there is a higher chance of failure on QEMU instances with
SMP enabled and on systems with more interrupts such as laptops on powersave.

The tests have been reported upstream as being unreliable dating back
over 5 years, due in part to the ordering of threads during
an "unwinding" process in helgrind.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345121
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=430321

A workaround to improve the reliability of such tests is to force them
to run on a single CPU core using taskset. This greatly reduces the
chance of a failure.

&gt;From my testing, I have found it can help reduce the rate of failures
on both a laptop and QEMU by over 5x. Stress-testing in QEMU for several
hours did not result in a failure while running the test normally did.

The flaky or undeterministic thread-based tests are defined in the
taskset_nondeterministic_tests file. These test cases will be run with
taskset 0x00000001 to run on a single CPU core rather then the regular
test.

The edited run-ptest executes the flaky tests first, then ignores them
to not duplicate the results from the main tests. Everything modified is
restored when testing is complete.

The drawback is that this isn't a foolproof solution. It helps the tests
fail much less frequently, and considering how this issue has been documented
for a long time, a workaround such as this is needed.
