Comment:

 I don't think we should skip these tests - the changes in [40531] and
 [40532] were intentional.  Without those changes, if someone has an
 incomplete test environment and they write patches against plugins or
 another feature that is left out of their local testing, then they're
 increasing the chance of writing a bad patch that fails a build later on.
 Quoting from #40533:

 > If the test data isn't valid or the environment is not capable of
 supporting the test then the test should fail, otherwise the tests are not
 reliable.

 I added a new section to the handbook page on `git` that explains what is
 going on:  https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/git/#unit-
 tests

 Let's leave the test failures in place, but link to this new documentation
 from the test failure messages.  Something like this:

  This test requires the WordPress Importer plugin to be installed.  See:
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/git/#unit-tests
