JIT CI is broken due to test_traceback & test_tracemalloc

[nineteendo]

Looks like something broke: https://github.com/python/cpython/actions/runs/8823706356/job/24224733399#step:8:9723

See also #117672 (comment) and #112730 (comment).

Do we disable these tests like #118247?

[hugovk]

Maybe, let's see if someone can fix the root cause first. The JIT is experimental and the CI is allowed to fail, it's mainly an annoyance when it does.

Agreed. Since it's affecting others (not just the JIT emulation) it is probably worth actually fixing or handling more generally.

[brandtbucher]

Perhaps the tests could just patch the desired environment variables instead of wiping them out completely?

I think that this is now fixed as I don't see the failures anymore on CI runs. I think that #118288 fixed things up.
