Add hook to ignore failed tests on a64fx for OpenBabel

[Crivella]

See EESSI/software-layer#1332 (comment)

I am not sure what in the bot procedure is causing this to time out consistently, but i was not able to replicate it manually neither with EESSI-extend only or eessi_container + EESSI_extend.

Since all other tests are always passing i think it is safe to ignore the tests for OpenBabel on a64fx
We could even change pretestopts to echo "Skipping tests" || to not run them at all...

I am not sure what in the bot procedure is causing this to time out consistently, but i was not able to replicate it manually neither with EESSI-extend only or eessi_container + EESSI_extend.

Since all other tests are always passing i think it is safe to ignore the tests for OpenBabel on a64fx We could even change pretestopts to echo "Skipping tests" || to not run them at all...

@Crivella Running the tests is always better, since then we have the test result in the installation log...
