disable strace tests broken under maverick
Description of the change
Ubuntu recently changed to stop users tracing their own processes by default as a security measure, which means that 'bzr selftest -s bt.test_strace' fails on maverick.
Unfortunately strace doesn't give you a clear error code to tell you that you hit this.
We don't actually use strace in any other tests at the moment, but it has been useful in the past for ad-hoc performance investigation.
