Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki 6ebb3462ab CI: skip the kcov-jail suites instead of failing to install kcov
The previous commit added kcov to the shell-tests apt step on the assumption
it was packaged for Ubuntu. It is not -- CI went red in 34s on "E: Unable to
locate package kcov" -- and upstream ships no prebuilt binary either, so it
would have to be built from source on every run.

CI now skips jail_args-marked suites with a printed reason, the same trade
the arch-tests job already makes for Arch-only tests: declare what this
runner cannot do rather than pretend to check it. Enforcement is not lost --
ci_mirror.sh runs those suites through the real jail on every push, and that
gate is already proven to fail on a broken assertion. An empty jail_args is
still a hard failure.

Simulated over all six discovered runners: 5 PASS, 1 SKIP, none dropped.
Committed with CI_GREEN_SKIP=1, the ci-baseline-green hook's documented
escape hatch for a commit that IS the fix for the red baseline.

Also records the kcov instrument defect in docs/shell-split-verification.md.
rpi_nc_install.sh measures 11.36% while its 29 assertions pass and its writes
land on disk. Five hypotheses are now disproven against minimal
reproductions -- the three from the previous session, plus `cd`-relocation
and a heredoc piped into a stubbed external. The cause is still unknown, so
the rule is documented instead: a suspicious percentage means re-measure, not
re-write the test. The failure only ever under-reports, so it can keep a lib
on the allowlist but can never promote an untested one.
