poudirere testport log for audio/libsndfile with TEST=ON

Ports including audio/libsamplerate, audio/pulseaudio and audio/twolame depend
on the shared library libsndfile.so, installed by audio/libsndfile.

However, with STATIC=ON, audio/libsndfile instead produces the static library
libsndfile.a.

Setting TEST=ON also sets STATIC=ON, I believe due to the following line in the
Makefile:
TEST_IMPLIES= STATIC

This means that libsndfile.so is not available for dependent ports.  I have
attached poudriere testport logs for audio/libsndfile with TEST=ON and for an
example dependent port audio/libsamplerate.

In my humble opinion, enabling testing during the port build should not break
compatibility with dependent ports.  Can testing be achieved in a different
way?

For now, the workaround is to build with TEST=OFF.
