fix(common): flaky KeyConverter unit tests

Fixes #299

This does not provide a real fix for the
issue just marks the tests to be skipped
for now until we complete the migration
to a different test runner which will
implicitly provide the real fix as per
#299 (comment) =>

Finally had the time to investigate this
properly and it is an issue that traces
back to the tap test executor unfortunately.
We already had plans to replace tap with
tape for other reasons (adding browser
testing support) but now this has
become more important than ever.

While seeing if we could use tape as the
test runner as well, I arrived at the
conclusion that we cannot because it
does not support obtaining coverage
while also compiling the Typescript code on the fly.
Another executor that does support this
and also satisfies our requirement of
being able to spit out TAP formatted
results is AVA so I will update the
relevant GH issue #238 about test
runner migration to target AVA instead of tape...
