python3: skip readline limited history tests

Python 3.12.5 is failing a newer ptest for reading/writing limited history. Skip it for now until a proper fix (if any) is determined. The new test was added in python/cpython@263c7e6 The GitHub issue is here: python/cpython#121160 The aforementioned bug report suggests that OSErrors like that show up when using the GNU readline-based readline module if a workaround isn't also incorporated. It also mentions a new readline backend will be available in 3.13 that might help, but that won't be available for a year.
