test: skip test-diagnostics-channel-memory-leak.js
There is currently no reliable way to detect this leak because: 1. We cannot reliably get a reference to the channel from the API to detect finalization without creating another strong reference. 2. This test does gc() and then checks memory usage - however the use of gc() disables code aging which can actually lead to increased memory usage overall, as it is not intended to be used to lower memory usage in the first place. 3. The implementation of diagnostics channels relies on ephemeron gc which is inefficient, it's not reliable to use the typical "create a lot of objects and see if it crashes" trick to check leaks. Skip the test for now until we find a way to test it reliably. To avoid flakiness in the CI, it's better to remove an unreliable test altogether.
