python3: skip readline limited history tests

Python 3.12.5 is failing a newer ptest for reading/writing limited
history when editline (default) is set in PACKAGECONFIG. Skip it for now
until a proper fix (if any) is determined.

A bug has been opened upstream: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/123018

+Subject: [PATCH] test_readline: skip limited history test
+
+This test was added recently and is failing on the ptest image when
+using the default PACKAGECONFIG settings (i.e. with editline instead of
+readline).. Disable it until the proper fix is determined.
