Flaky test skips

[NoahGorny]

@NoahGorny I've been seeing this one intermittently of late, but can't reproduce on my own OSX 11.6. It's just skipping some tests!!!!

It's driving me batty. My best guess is that something in test_helper.bash is failing and exiting, but because it's not within a function it's not being reported. I'm going to try doing what BATS documentation recommends: load the common setup from within setup(), not the other way around. That way at least we'll get the error message...I think...

Don't hold off on my account. I haven't found much time the last few days, but hopefully will be able to sit with it tonight. If you find time before me, have at it! 😃

There are also some skipped tests on osx - the xterm tests are being skipped silently there, not sure why
