Andrew Tridgell 2f9bbe835c testsuite: keep the expected-skip lists in files, not in the workflow line ...

Every branch that added a test which skips somewhere had to edit
RSYNC_EXPECT_SKIPPED, a single ~3 KB YAML line duplicated across seven
workflow steps -- so two such branches always conflicted, and the conflict
was in the one format git cannot merge.

The lists move to testsuite/skiplist/*.txt, one name per line with the reason
as a comment, and RSYNC_EXPECT_SKIPPED takes @FILE entries which runtests.py
expands (relative to srcdir, so out-of-tree builds work).  Several compose,
which lets the 46 names common to Linux/macOS/Cygwin live in one file: adding
a require_tcp test now edits one line of common.txt instead of three lists in
three files.

Lists must be sorted, duplicate-free, and name real tests, and an unreadable
or malformed list is a hard error -- it must never degrade to "expect no
skips", which would silently disarm the oracle on that job.  fleettest passes
the spec through to the remote runtests.py, which expands it against the tree
that was staged there.

The oracle itself is unchanged.  Verified on Linux by running the full suite
in all three lanes (check, check30, check29) against the new files: same
expected sets, all green.
