well, the problem with that is that CI won't show more than a few failing test
cases (otherwise the log is too long and gitlab truncates it, removing the test
summary), and also if we have too many, it's hard to find the tests we want
because they get lost in the noise of known-failing test cases.

disabling tests because you broke them and won't fix them is bad practice,
disabling tests because you never completed them and know that and have a bug
tracking them is imo fine.

I also decided to commit the script for building the gdb vm (marked as not
working), we can just ignore it until we get around to fixing it. better than
losing all the progress completely.

I'm pushing un-rebased to 1228-elf-dynamic:

I tried to rebase on master, but something on master broke tons of tests
recently, somewhere between:

    elf/simple_cases: disable case_static_glibc for now, re-enable when we work
on it again.

    add make_gdb_vm_image.sh script, it doesn't work yet but could be useful
