The qtests are broken since a while in the MSYS2 job in the gitlab-CI,
likely due to some changes in the MSYS2 environment. So far nobody has
neither a clue what's going wrong here, nor an idea how to fix this
(in fact most QEMU developers even don't have a Windows environment
available for properly analyzing this problem), so we should disable the
qtests here for the time being to get at least test coverage again
for the remaining tests that are run here.

Since we already get compile-test coverage for the system emulation
in the cross-win64-system job, and since the MSYS2 job is one of the
longest running jobs in our CI (it takes more than 1 hour to complete),
let's seize the opportunity and also cut the run time by disabling
the system emulation completely here, including the libraries that
are only useful for system emulation. In case somebody ever figures
out the failure of the qtests on MSYS2, we can revert this patch
to get everything back.
