The default format is going to change in 2.25.x, and in git main it currently starts with "SDL-".
SDL specifically documents the result of this function as "not intended to be reliable in any way", so it seems wrong to have pysdl2's tests fail whenever the format changes. To address that, turn unexpected formats into an xfail, so that they're flagged as something to investigate but do not make the unit tests fail when used as a QA gate.
