[PATCH] ci(linux-asan-ubsan): let's save some time

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Every once in a while, the `git-p4` tests flake for reasons outside of our control. It typically fails with "Connection refused" e.g. here: https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/5969707156/job/16196057724

	[...]
	+ git p4 clone --dest=/home/runner/work/git/git/t/trash directory.t9807-git-p4-submit/git //depot
	  Initialized empty Git repository in /home/runner/work/git/git/t/trash directory.t9807-git-p4-submit/git/.git/
	  Perforce client error:
		Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.
		TCP connect to localhost:9807 failed.
		connect: 127.0.0.1:9807: Connection refused
	  failure accessing depot: could not run p4
	  Importing from //depot into /home/runner/work/git/git/t/trash directory.t9807-git-p4-submit/git
	 [...]

This happens in other jobs, too, but in the `linux-asan-ubsan` job it hurts the most because that job often takes over a full hour to run, therefore re-running a failed `linux-asan-ubsan` job is _very_ costly.

The purpose of the `linux-asan-ubsan` job is to exercise the C code of Git, anyway, and any part of Git's source code that the `git-p4` tests run and that would benefit from the attention of ASAN/UBSAN are run better in other tests anyway, as debugging C code run via Python scripts can get a bit hairy.

In fact, it is not even `git-p4` that is the problem (even if it flakes often enough to be problematic in the CI builds), but really the part about Python scripts. So let's just skip any Python parts of the tests from being run in that job.

For good measure, also skip the Subversion tests because debugging C code run via Perl scripts is as much fun as debugging C code run via Python scripts. And it will reduce the time this very expensive job takes, which is a big benefit.

    ci(linux-asan-ubsan): let's save some time
    
    I often look at failed CI runs, and the linux-asan-ubsan job comes up
    frequently, and painfully (because it takes such a long time that
    re-running is often less desirable than getting the CI runs to pass).
    
    This commit is an attempt to reduce the pain and suffering stemming from
    this particular job, simply by deciding that the benefit of running the
    Python/Subversion-related tests in that job is far outweighed by its
    cost.
    
    This commit not only reduces the number of git-p4 flakes in
    linux-asan-ubsan to 0, it also seems to shave off about 10 minutes
    runtime, comparing
    https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/actions/runs/5929602548/job/16077585391
    to
    https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/actions/runs/6010305446/job/16301473243?pr=1578
    (which is not quite scientific due to the lack of a controlled
    environment, but it's the best we got for now). Together, those benefits
    form a strong incentive for me to get this merged.
    
    This patch is based on maint.
