[FYI] {master} testsuite: avoid spurious failure of self checks on Solaris

[Stefano Lattarini]

This is just a quick workaround to prevent having too much noise
in the testsuite; more proper fixes have been committed into the
'testsuite-work' branch.

* tests/self-check-dir.test: Relax a test to avoid unimportant
failure on Solaris 10.
* tests/self-check-exit.test: Likewise.
