Hmm, I'm actually not sure how to provide the ERT tests only if ERT is
available.  Is there an example?  It seems like:

(require 'ert nil t)
...
(when (featurep 'ert)
  (ert-deftest gnus-registry-usage-test ()
  ...
)

should work but I want to be sure it will work properly.

All the registry code will run fine without the ERT tests and I don't
think we need to ship ERT with Gnus.  So I'd rather make it optional.
