#1114756 openmsx: flaky autopkgtest 'run' on multiple architectures

The autopkgtest for openmsx intermittently fails on ci.debian.net,
especially on slower architectures:

https://ci.debian.net/packages/o/openmsx/testing/armhf/
https://ci.debian.net/packages/o/openmsx/testing/riscv64/

but also occasionally on fast architectures:

https://ci.debian.net/packages/o/openmsx/testing/amd64/ (2025-08-13 02:35:57 UTC)
https://ci.debian.net/packages/o/openmsx/testing/arm64/ (2025-08-13 19:09:33 UTC)

Looking at the logs, 'unit' seems to be generally reliable, and it's
'run' that intermittently fails.

The testing migration infrastructure assumes this is a regression in a
package that was upgraded, preventing packages like libsdl2 from
migrating to testing until the openmsx autopkgtest is retried. I'm
reporting this as non-RC for now because it isn't *that* bad (certainly
not as bad as uqm, which I have to retry on riscv64 for basically every
libsdl2 upload), but it's likely to be escalated to RC if it becomes a
practical problem for migrations.

If this test is expected to be unreliable, please mark it with
"Restrictions: flaky" so that it isn't used to gate migrations from
unstable to testing:

    Tests: run
    Depends: ...
    Restrictions: allow-stderr, flaky

Or it could be marked with the "skippable" restriction:

    Tests: run
    Depends: ...
    Restrictions: allow-stderr, skippable

and do its own logic to classify its results into three buckets, using
an exit status convention borrowed from Autotools:

* success: exit 0
* skipped, expected/ignorable failure or other neutral status: exit 77
* failure: any other exit status

Thanks,

Raising severity as this impacts the ability to upload security fixes,
for example the recent upload of libpng1.6 to target several CVEs is
currenty blocked because britney is believing there is an regression.

In this case its for ppc64el.
