t0213: skip ancestry tests under user-mode emulation

The tests added in 3c8c638df6 (t0213: add trace2 cmd_ancestry tests,
2026-02-13) expect the cmd_ancestry event to name "test-tool" and
"git". On Linux those names come from the "comm" field of
/proc/<pid>/stat. Under user-mode emulation (e.g. qemu-user) /proc
reports the emulator ("qemu-riscv64") instead, so the event is still
emitted, the TRACE2_ANCESTRY probe enables the tests, and tests 2-5
fail even though they pass on native riscv64.

Require the probe to see "test-tool" in the ancestry of a test-tool
spawned from test-tool, so the tests skip when the names are unreliable.
