tests: Fix some test failures on Ubuntun 16.04 CI

* xenial doesn't ship many dependencies, so make them all optional
  since we don't guarantee that everything will work
* cmake/{5,6}: needs stdlib.h for EXIT_SUCCESS on GCC 5
* common/222: needs C++11, and GCC 5 doesn't understand `auto`
  correctly unless we explicitly enable it.
* frameworks/1 boost: xenial doesn't ship boost_python3, so make it
  properly optional
* frameworks/6 gettext: gettext can be installed without xgettext,
  which doesn't cause the project to fail, but the installed files
  list is different which causes the test to fail.
* frameworks/7 gnome: gobject-introspection can't be enabled because
  the sanitizer unit test detects leaks in glib and fails
