[HADOOP-8933] test-patch.sh fails erroneously on platforms that can't build native

Description

If a developer is working on a platform that can't build native (like OS X right now), then test-patch.sh will report the patch as a failure due to "The patch appears to cause the build to fail." This is incorrect, because the developer's patch didn't cause the build to fail. Adding an extra optional flag to test-patch.sh would help developers on these platforms.
