MIPS test_replay.py often times out (likely hang) under GitLab CI:

  2/21 qemu:func-thorough+func-mips64el-thorough+thorough / func-mips64el-replay   TIMEOUT   180.12s   killed by signal 15 SIGTERM

The console.log file is empty, and recording.logs only shows:

  qemu-system-mips64el: terminating on signal 15 from pid 344

Since this is a long term issue affecting our CI, disable the tests.

Thanks, this also bugs me since a while already (not enough to send a patch 
yet, so I'm glad you did it now)!

If you're going to reference this, you might want to re-open it.

I didn't notice it was closed (now re-opened).

Per commit 1f881ea4a44 ("replay: stop us hanging in rr_wait_io_event"):

     This fixes most of the failures in replay_kernel.py
