Skip flaky E2E tests (#2475)

## Motivation for the change, related issues

Skips all the flaky tests that keep derailing the CI:

* Spanish translations tests in firefox and webkit (leaving only Chrome
runs).
* Blueprints + Network requests in webkit (works locally, sometimes
flakes out in CI)
* Built packages with PHP 7.2 (often times out in CI)

## Testing Instructions (or ideally a Blueprint)

Confirm the CI checks passed. If they failed, I'll continue adjusting
the tests setup as needed.
