ci: Temporarily allow build-sysext CI job to fail

GitLab is currently timing out a lot, and the number of consecutive `git
clone` operations which the `build-sysext` job does is basically
guaranteed to fail at some point. I’ve tried one CI run 30 times in a
row without success.

Temporarily allow this job to fail until GitLab is fixed.
