coreutils: fix test suite

* gnu/packages/patches/coreutils-skip-nohup.patch: patch taken from the git
  repository of coreutils, that makes sure tests/misc/nohup.sh does not fail
  when /dev/tty does not exist.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (coreutils): use it.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): add it.

tests: fix false failure in nohup.sh in non tty builds
* tests/misc/nohup.sh: When running tests without a controlling tty,
an exec failure is triggered in a subshell, which causes POSIX
shells to immediately exit the subshell. This was brought
to notice by the newly conforming bash 4.3.
