Pull request #6218 (2024-12-04 22:24:30)

[TEST ONLY] skip TestMQTTClusterConnectDisconnect...
The purpose of this test was to illustrate and verify https://github.com/nats-io/nats-server/pull/4734. Due to its timing sensitivity it has never been 100% reliable, prone to flaking on an occasional MQTT Connect failure (API timeout?). Skip for now, to reduce the flaky noise.
