pythongh-124213: Skip tests failing with --suppress-sync=true whe…

…n inside systemd-nspawn container

Add a helper functon that checks whether the test suite is running
inside a systemd-nspawn container, and skip the few tests failing
with `--suppress-sync=true` in that case.  The tests are failing because
`--suppress-sync=true` stubs out `fsync()`, `fdatasync()` and `msync()`
calls, and therefore they always return success without checking for
invalid arguments.

Technically, this means that the tests are also skipped when running
inside systemd-nspawn container without `--suppress-sync=true`.
However, to the best of my knowledge the only way to detect this option
is to actually reproduce one of the unexpectedly-succeeding syscalls,
and since this is precisely what we're testing for, the skip-test
and the actual test would be doing the same thing.
