RELEASE NOTES BEGIN

New skip_install option for test jobs to omit automatic installation of
COPR packages on Testing Farm runner.

RELEASE NOTES END

Warning: All tests pass, but I do not know how to perform end-to-end testing, so I have not been able to actually try it.

feat: add skip_install option for test jobs

Add a 'skip_install' configuration option next to 'skip_build' for
Testing Farm test jobs. When enabled, the Copr build still runs and its
artifacts are attached to the Testing Farm request, but their packages
are not installed automatically (Testing Farm receives 'install: false').
Installing the desired components is left to the tmt plan/tests. This
option is independent of 'skip_build'.
Fixes #2775
