add false option for tests (#7778)

Currently there is no way to prevent tests from building using meson.
This introduces two problems:

1) It adds a extra 381 files to compile.
2) One of these tests explicitly requires libgcrypt to be built even if systemd
   is not using it.
3) It adds C++ to the requirements to build systemd.

When cross-compiling, this is uneccessary.
