gnu: linkchecker: Fix most test failures.

Add a patch to skip more tests that require the network. Along with some other
changes, this gets all but of one of the tests passing.

The remaining test is broken due to a problem with the Python package in Guix,
which is fixed by [1] which is currently on the core-updates branch. This
patch doesn't work on core-updates due to python2-miniboa not being present.

1: d453b0e11d

* gnu/packages/python.scm (linkchecker)[source]: Add patch.
[native-inputs]: Add more inputs required for the tests.
[arguments]: Enable the tests, move the 'check phase after 'install. Test
using the installed software, and use py.test.

+Subject: [PATCH] Mark more tests that require the network
+
+I believe all these tests require the network, at least they seem to
+fail if it's I run them without connecting my computer to the web.
+
+I'm looking at this as part of packaging linkchecker for GNU Guix,
+where the package is build and the tests are run in a isolated
+environment, intentionally without network access, to avoid issues
+with non-reproducible package builds.
