TST: disable mypy tests in test suite unless an environment variable is set

rgommers · rgommers · commit bd1bda69fae4 · 2023-07-30T13:35:34.000+02:00
These tests are super slow, and they're effectively always passing in CI.
Running them on all "full" test suite runs is too expensive. Note that
SciPy has an XSLOW mark, NumPy does not. So use an env var for now.
