Add a TOR_SKIP_TESTCASES environment variable for suppressing tests.

For example, "TOR_SKIP_TESTCASES=crypto/.. ./src/test/test" will run
the tests and suppress all the "crypto/" tests.  You could get the
same effect by running "./src/test/test :crypto/..", but that can be
harder to arrange from CI.

Part of a fix/workaround for 33643.

+  o Minor features (testing):
+    - The unit tests now support a "TOR_SKIP_TESTCASES" environment variable
+      to specify a list of space-separated test cases that should not be
+      executed. We will use this to disable certain tests that are failing on
+      Appveyor because of mismatched OpenSSL libraries. Part of ticket 33643.
