[1.8.x] Prevented some test commands from needlessly running system checks.

This is a performance optimization and also fixes test errors with the
upcoming merge of contrib tests into tests/. The tests failed on MySQL
because the models with GeometryField were being checked but the
non-GIS MySQL backend didn't know how to handle them.

Backport of 197dd4b8f12164f6acebb3b959f9ac2040a40400 from master
