GMT's known failing tests

[seisman]

GMT has ~900 tests. Some tests are known to fail and are ignored with the magic comment line "# GMT_KNOWN_FAILURE". Some tests fail due to slightly differences among different OSs and are allowed to pass with high GRAPHICSMAGICK_RMS values.

Here we list all the known failing tests to better track them.

This PR is used for general discussions only. For a specific failing test, please open a new issue for in-depth discussions.
