gh-116303: Handle disabled test modules in test.support

[erlend-aasland]

Yak shave for gh-116303

[erlend-aasland]

(the hypothesis failure has its own issue: #116455)

[erlend-aasland]

For the Windows failures, see:

• #116458
• #116467

Marking this as a draft until #116458 has landed.

Marking this as a draft until https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/116458 has landed.

This fix has landed in the main branch.

LGTM.

Thanks, but we cannot merge this; the Windows ~~free-threaded~~ builds still fail :(

@vstinner, would you like to review the updated PR?

[erlend-aasland]

Overall, it's kind of strange to ask (1) to not build tests and (2) to run tests :-)

More specifically, they are asking to not build test extension modules, but still be able to run the test suite. I think it is a legitimate thing to ask :)

Thanks for the reviews; I'm enabling auto-merge.

I'm not so sure about backporting this anymore.

The main reason to backport test changes is to make future backports easier. If there are already conflicts, I wouldn't feel bad about not backporting.
