[Bug 187823] Re: ftbfs (1 failed test) with current cairo version

Skipping the entire testsuite seems like an awfully big hammer, when we
can use the SKIP mechanism to only skip the tests that are failing.
While this means releasing either poorly tested or potentially buggy
libcairo-perl, we can at least be sure that most of it works, and ensure
we maintain the same level of tests for any potential updates or
security fixes post-release.

** Patch added: "Debdiff wrapping patch to skip failing tests and adjust test plan to account for skipped tests"
