    Default emulate_soap_queries to true and skip SOAP tests. This is
    because SOAP queries started failing with a 404 on March 22 2021.

announced with the release of 0.027_01 on October 28 2014.

What I have done as of version 0.031_01 is to add attribute
C<emulate_soap_queries>. This was false by default. If this attribute is
true, the C<query()> method and friends, instead of issuing a SOAP
request to the SIMBAD server, will instead construct an equivalent
script query, and issue that. The deprecation warning will not be issued
if C<emulate_soap_queries> is true, since the SOAP interface is not
being used.

As of March 22 2021, SOAP queries started returning 404. Because of
this, I have made the default of C<emulate_soap_queries> true. Well,
actually I have made it the Boolean inverse of environment variable
L<ASTRO_SIMBAD_CLIENT_USE_SOAP|/ASTRO_SIMBAD_CLIENT_USE_SOAP>. This is
mostly for my benefit, so I can see if SOAP has come back.

If SOAP still has not come back after six months, SOAP queries will
become fatal, as will setting C<emulate_soap_queries> to a false value.

Eventually the SOAP code will be removed. In the meantime all tests are
skipped unless C<ASTRO_SIMBAD_CLIENT_USE_SOAP> is true, and are marked
