test-http-bad-server: move on test from bytes-count to pattern
This specific test case is now using the new "close when a pattern is seen"
approach compared to the more fragile "that many bytes were sent" approach.
Since such change are still a bit noisy, we split each change in there own
changesets.

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 .
