Bug#839444: libgda5: Patch to disable the failing tests

[Santiago Vila]

Dear GNOME maintainers:

Based on the comments by Andreas in the rygel bug, I could understand
your desire to do the "right thing" and fix the failing tests, but it
surely would take time and effort, and nobody can really force you to do that.

If you decide to disable the tests, I'm attaching a patch to make it easy.
I've actually tested it (by diffing build logs), and it does what it
says it does.

Thanks a lot.
