Continue tests if hackage-repo-tool is not present.

The tool is not essential to the rest of the test suite. If hackage-repo-tool is not present, any test that requires it will be skipped. We want to keep this in the loop but we don't want to fail if hackage-repo-tool breaks or fails to support a newer GHC version.
