Philipp Dunkel 752a12a2ff test: skip C++ symbols in tick-processor-arguments
The test only checks that a CLI flag is passed through to the V8 tick
processor, but processing a --prof log makes the tick processor resolve
the C++ symbols of every shared library listed in it by shelling out to
nm (plus c++filt on macOS) once per library. On a --shared build that
links around a hundred dylibs this takes longer than the test timeout
on the macOS x86_64 GitHub Actions runner, and the outcome depends on
the host toolchain rather than on node.

Drop the shared-library entries from the log before processing it so
the test exercises argument handling only. C++ symbol resolution is
covered by test/tick-processor.
