coreutils: fix test suite
* gnu/packages/patches/coreutils-skip-nohup.patch: patch taken from the git repository of coreutils, that makes sure tests/misc/nohup.sh does not fail when /dev/tty does not exist. * gnu/packages/base.scm (coreutils): use it. * gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): add it.

+ tests: fix false failure in nohup.sh in non tty builds
+
+ * tests/misc/nohup.sh: When running tests without a controlling tty,
+ an exec failure is triggered in a subshell, which causes POSIX
+ shells to immediately exit the subshell. This was brought
+ to notice by the newly conforming bash 4.3.
+ Fixes http:/bugs.gnu.org/16940
