Bug#666782: [openturns] Test 150: "Trapezoidal Factory" blocks build on i386 architectures

Package: src:openturns
Version: 0.15-3

After the upload of 0.15-3, which enables `make test` by dh_auto_test,
the package FTBFS on i386 and kfreebsd-i386. After some investigation
it was discovered that Test 150, "Trapezoidal Factory" hangs on i386
architectures (confirmed on i386 and kfreebsd-i386), thus make the
build process timed out and finally being terminated on buildd. There
are two obvious ways of resolving the problem:
1. Disable test, as before.
2. Patch the build system, to make it kill the test after some
reasonable timeout.

Option 2 sounds more ideal, but needs more time to implement.

Due to the nature of this package, I decided not to make an upload
(and press the buildds, especially architectures that are not so fast)
for changing a test option. I've made binary uploads for the two
archs, which was built (in pbuilder) and signed by me to the archive.
During the build I killed the process of  "Trapezoidal Factory" test
manually so the package can be produced. If there is a need of
rebuilding/updating this package, then we'd choose from the above two
options.
