haskellPackages: fix infinite recursion by disabling random's tests

Browse source 
random 1.2.0 has a new test suite with a lot of dependencies. Among
other packages it depends on doctest which depends on syb which depends
on tasty which depends on optparse-applicative which depends on
QuickCheck which depends on -- you guessed it -- random!

The cycle could be broken at any point of course, I've disabled the
tests on random here because it has seen the change that causes all
of this. However, we may also want to consider doing this for
optparse-applicative instead, since random seems like a more critical
package to run the tests for possibly? Not sure, looking for feedback.
