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

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
