test more Status' packages, refs #24266 (#24275)

This adds several new Status packages to the CIs:

- confutils
- eth
- metrics
- nat_traversal
- toml_serialization

Other packages mentioned in https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/24266
are currently not ready to test with `devel` for various reasons.

----

This also enables `criterion`, and removes other packages that had been
in the `allowFailure` category — even without them we have plenty of
packages (145) that we test, there's no point in spending CI time on
them just to see them fail every time.
If/when the authors of those packages make them work with Nim devel, we
can re-introduce them then.
