The $sa_local_tests_only within creating a hash
evaluates to 1, which is why it complains about unknown field.

Unfortunately the $sa_local_tests_only is currently a global
setting only, it is not a member of policy banks.

This is because SpamAssassin expects this setting at a
time of the object creation (startup time), and it cannot
be changed dynamically. Alternative would be to ditch
an existing SpamAssassin object and create a new one
when sa_local_tests_only changes, but that would be
an expensive operation, so it is currently not available.
