kselftest: add capability to skip chosen TARGETS 



Let the user specify an optional TARGETS skiplist through the new optional
SKIP_TARGETS Makefile variable.

It is easier to skip at will using a reduced and well defined list of
possibly problematic targets with SKIP_TARGETS than to provide a partially
stripped down list of good targets using the usual TARGETS variable.

Additionally you can use the "SKIP_TARGETS" variable on the make command

line to specify one or more targets to exclude from the TARGETS list.
