[Bug 1902553] [NEW] TEST-03 sometimes fails during autopkgtests

[Dan Streetman]

Public bug reported:

[impact]

during autopkgtest runs, sometimes TEST-03 fails when running under
qemu.

[test case]

check autopkgtest results, e.g.:
https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-bionic/bionic/i386/s/systemd/20201009_025713_c1956@/log.gz

[regression potential]

any regression would likely result in a failure to detect some other
regression that is otherwise tested by this test case.

[scope]

this is needed only for bionic.

upstream, this is fixed by disabling TEST-03 (and TEST-16) running under
qemu, as their timing is very tight, in commit
3edc0c590d3a9212267d0a7cf56e95efa7f61039, which is included first in
v239, so this is fixed already in focal and later.

technically, this also is needed for xenial, however since that release
is reaching ESM status early next year, and this is only an autopkgtest
fix, i have no plans to update xenial.
