Subject: [PATCH] ghostscript: disable checkPhase, expand installCheckPhase

upon closer inspection, `make check` does little except rebuild
everything with some different options. ghostscript has a python-based
test suite, but it looks like an unmaintained disaster zone.

so the best we can probably do for now is ensure we can render all the
provided examples.
