Add UnixBuild.create_test_opts(). Override this method in RHEL8Build to add "-x test_dtrace" on branch older than 3.13.

test_dtrace started to fail recently on buildbot older than 3.13. Example on PPC64LE Fedora Stable 3.12: https://buildbot.python.org/#/builders/1121/builds/1085/steps/6/logs/stdio, test_dtrace fails with a timeout (a test hangs, this issue has been fixed in the main branch).

Recent activity around dtrace:

The problem is that test_dtrace changes were only backported up to 3.13. So I propose skipping test_dtrace on 3.12 and older.
