Adds marked tests as slow, flakey, and optionalci

Tests are marked using the following py.test options:

 * @slow which is run on default, not run if `--skip-slow`
 * @optionalci is run on default, not run if `--skip-optional-ci`
 * @flakey which is not run on default, run if `--run-flakey`

Note, the `optionalci` category is needed in order to mark
tests that are environment dependent when run on continuous
integration (CI) hardware.
