test-http-bad-server: use the new pattern-reading for a test-case

This test case is now less sensitive to change of unrelated bits of the
client/server exchange.

Since this introduce some churn in the output, we do it independently for each
test cases. This patch is the last of such changes, for both sent and recv
cases.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12073

Test null revisions (node 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000, aka rev -1)
in various circumstances.

Make an empty repo:

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

  $ hg files -r 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
  [1]
  $ hg files -r .
  [1]

Add an empty commit (this makes the changelog refer to a null manifest node):


  $ hg commit -m "init" --config ui.allowemptycommit=true

  $ hg files -r .
  [1]

Strip that empty commit (this makes the changelog file empty, as opposed to missing):

  $ hg --config 'extensions.strip=' strip . > /dev/null

  $ hg files -r .
  [1]
