tests: skip connect-fallback test on GNU/Hurd

19_local-connect-fallback synthesizes a multi-address host by pinning
"deadhost" to a dead 127.0.0.2 then the live 127.0.0.1, so httrack's
per-address connect fallback has somewhere to fall back to. That fixture
needs a second loopback IP: the dead and live addresses share the URL's
port (htslib.c applies it to every resolved address), so they must differ
by IP. Linux and macOS route all of 127/8 to loopback; GNU/Hurd has only
127.0.0.1, so the dead address fails synchronously, the fallback never
engages, and the test fails on hurd-i386.

This is a fixture limitation, not a bug in the fallback code, so skip on
GNU/Hurd (uname -s = GNU). A runtime bind/connect probe was tried first
but both wrongly skipped macOS, which connects to 127.0.0.2 fine but does
not treat it as bindable; the one-loopback-IP fact is what actually
distinguishes Hurd. hurd-i386 is a non-release port and did not block
migration.
