tests: mark 'syntax of .la files' as XFAIL, expose failure.

* tests/lalib-syntax.at (syntax of .la files): Assert that the
string returned by lt_dlerror after a failure is non-NULL, so
the failure shows up on systems other than Solaris.  Mark test
as expected to fail.
Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.
