randtest performs autocorrelation analysis on random number sequences
and fails intermittently on overloaded CI/autobuilder systems where
CPU scheduling and floating point conditions vary between runs.

An upstream fix was previously merged (ccabae3036a7) to improve sigma
threshold handling, but the test failed again on qemux86-64-musl-ptest
on 2026-07-21 with 'Tau= 162, Autocorr= 5.15181 sigma'.

The test is inherently unsuitable for shared overloaded build
infrastructure. Skip it, consistent with how 'time' and 'timeout'
are already handled.
