cmd/compile/internal/syntax: add -skip flag to exclude files from TestStdLib

TestStdLib reports parsed lines and lines/s information. To make
it easier to compare apples to apples when making changes in the
std lib, a regular expression provided via the -skip flag filters
files we don't want to process.
