i386/Haiku/GAS/testsuite: Suppress SVR4 comment character test

The SVR4 comment character test is now excluded on Haiku targets.

The SVR4 comment character test is now excluded on Haiku targets in the i386 assembler testsuite. This prevents a regression caused by enabling ELF tests on Haiku targets, as ’/’ is not a comment character in Haiku assembly.

In Details

This commit modifies gas/testsuite/gas/i386/i386.exp to exclude the SVR4 comment character test for Haiku targets. This is because '/' is not a comment character in Haiku assembly, as defined in gas/config/te-haiku.h. The change prevents a regression caused by enabling ELF tests for Haiku targets.

For Context

The GNU Assembler (GAS) translates assembly code into machine code. GAS includes a testsuite to verify its functionality. System V Release 4 (SVR4) defines a specific comment character. This commit excludes a test related to the SVR4 comment character for the Haiku operating system, because Haiku uses a different comment character.
