badtest openjdk-lts which breaks the test environment

Already quite a lot of openjdk-* packages are marked on i386
$ grep -Hrn openjdk *
ubuntu-release:969:force-badtest openjdk-13/all/i386
ubuntu-release:970:force-badtest openjdk-14/all/i386
ubuntu-release:971:force-badtest openjdk-8/all/i386
ubuntu-release:10489:force-badtest openjdk-lts/all/armhf
ubuntu-release:10542:force-badtest openjdk-lts/blacklisted \
   openjdk-13/blacklisted openjdk-14/blacklisted

But openjdk-lts has the same issues, none of the recent runs worked:
=> https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/o/openjdk-lts/groovy/i386
=> https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/o/openjdk-lts/focal/i386

Generally failing until timing out and then also breaking the test
infrastructure with errors like:
autopkgtest [21:00:43]: ERROR: "rm -rf /tmp/autopkgtest.QhyXlk/jdk-artifacts
  /tmp/autopkgtest.QhyXlk/autopkgtest_tmp" failed with stderr "rm: cannot
  remove '/tmp/autopkgtest.QhyXlk/autopkgtest_tmp/jdk/JTwork/classes/2':
  Directory not empty

Currently holding back nss (FTFBS fix before groovy release) and zlib
(important feat of s390x compression).

Even when the timeout and infrastructure problems would be solved these
tests don't work well on any architecture:
- armhf -> ignored
- amd64/ppc64el/s390x -> never worked
- i386 -> all runs have the same ~200 fails before crashing the infra

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

openjdk-lts is built on i386, and has previously passed as a cross-test, which means there is nothing fundamental keeping it from succeeding - which makes an 'all/i386' badtest inappropriate.

And I see the most recent test runs on i386 on both focal and groovy are 'neutral', not failed.
