Fixes for LCG 99

See merge request !2912

An argument is added to `validateWithReference` that allows us to
disable the validator based on the platform. By default only
skylake_avx512 is disabled, which reflects the fact that we don't
try to maintain references there (as we don't plan to use it in
production).

Note that this is a "soft" disabling compared to using `unsupported_platforms`
in the qmt file. With the latter the test is not run at all, whereas
with the change here only the referece validation is disabled.

Once we have a better framework to compare counters, we can add
checks on skylake where we set appropriate thresholds for the differences
with respect to the references.
