Disable tools build in CI.

Disable the building of tools in the CI, 'till they get properly refactored (somehow )

[frozar]

Sad news...

I send a mail to the Travis CI support recently (it was to report a bug in their interface). They answer me:

We have increased the maximum build time to 70 minutes for the repository PointCloudLibrary/pcl, so you will run less into false negatives.

It's really a great news, and I think that we can enable again the building of tools. What do you think about it?

PS: if you'd like read the emails, just give me your mail address on IRC (or send email at fabien.rozar@gmail.com)

Fabien, that's indeed great news, thanks for reaching out to them. We should have tried this "social engineering" approach instead of "workarounds hacking" much earlier 😆

I've restarted one the old jobs for tools, let's see if it succeeds. And with this new limit we can also try merge together some of the extended test jobs to avoid superfluous library re-compilation, e.g. test-ext-1 and test-ext-2.

@taketwo : Yes, definitely it's a great news 😄

If you'd like the rework the exist test, hope to you, I cannot spend too much time to develop PCL. As you can see, I open a pull request for the build of tools, and I'll look closely at the build status.

[frozar]

@taketwo : the old job you launched previously passed the build successfully: Champagne!

[SergioRAgostinho]

OMG!!!!! Good job @frozar ! Btw, why not enable apps then as well? 😉 (It's just uncommenting the other one)

[frozar]

I didn't uncomment it because I didn't know if these tests work or not. Up to you to try them locally, check if everything is alright (ideally), and propose a pull request ;-)
