Notably, this isn't happening on the wazero builder, it's passing.

Change https://go.dev/cl/505580 mentions this issue: internal/counter: skip tests on solaris, android, and GOARCH=386

[hyangah]

cl/505580 made all tests skip on GOOS=wasip1. The build dashboard shows ok now.

x/telemetry is meant to be used by go tools like go commands and gopls. Currently we don't have a plan to support running these tools there yet.
