Remote Changes:

builder/package.py: stop mangling test data (#3364)

Broke tests on Debian/Ubuntu, they reported it, never figured it out.

(#2274)

On Gentoo we skipped the failing test for years but 'just plain fails'
didn't sit right with me. We found the tests only fail using release
tarball, not git.

package.py script 'fixes' the line endings on .txt extensions but doesn't
account for a stillrarbutnotagoodname.txt rar binary in the test data.

This breaks tests on anyone using the release tarballs. So we skip mangling
the test data to allow for downstream CI to work.
