tests: don't run tail-2/inotify-race by default
* tests/tail-2/inotify-race: Note the caveats of the test.
I.E. the intermittent skips and the gdb hang reported
by Alan Curry. Add extra info to the log on why the test
is skipped as it may be due to multiple reasons. Mark
the test as very expensive so that it's not normally run.
