Message:

python3: Sync test instruction from LFS

The "LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8" hack is dropped since I've tried running the
tests with an empty $LANG.

+      Some tests are known to occasionally hang indefinitely.  So to test

+      For a relatively slow system you may need to increase the time
+      limit and 1 SBU (measured when building Binutils pass 1 with one CPU
+      core) should be enough.  Some tests are flaky, so the test suite will
+      automatically re-run failed tests.  If a test failed but then passed
+      when re-run, it should be considered as passed.
