How can it be user fault if gnupg formally supports --disable-tofu?
Tests should succeeded or skipped based on enabled features of gnupg.
In Gentoo we are trying to support package configuration to allow
choice of what features to enable, gnupg is included.
Please skip tests and not fail if a valid supported feature is disabled.
