[ty] skip a slow seed in fuzzer (astral-sh#20161)

## Summary

Fuzzer seed 208 seems to be timing out all fuzzer runs on PRs today.
This has happened on multiple unrelated PRs, as well as on an initial
version of this PR that made a comment-only change in ty and didn't skip
any seeds, so the timeout appears to be consistent in CI, on ty main
branch, as of today, but it started happening due to some change in a
factor outside ty; not sure what.

I checked the code generated for seed 208 locally, and it takes about
30s to check on current ty main branch. This is slow for a fuzzer seed,
but shouldn't be slow enough to make it time out after 20min in CI (even
accounting for GH runners being slower than my laptop.)

I tried to bisect the slowness of checking that code locally, but I
didn't go back far enough to find the change that made it slow. In fact
it seems like it became significantly faster in the last few days (on an
older checkout I had to stop it after several minutes.) So whatever the
cause of the slowness, it's not a recent change in ty.

I don't want to rabbit-hole on this right now (fuzzer-discovered issues
are lower-priority than real-world-code issues), and need a working CI,
so skip this seed for now until we can investigate it.

## Test Plan

CI. This PR contains a no-op (comment) change in ty, so that the fuzz
test is triggered in CI and we can verify it now works (as well as
verify, on the previous commit, that the fuzzer job is timing out on
that seed, even with just a no-op change in ty.)
