tests: work around flaky test failure on FreeBSD and relatives
test-http-bad-server has a flaky output case that reproduces fairly
often (20% or more of runs on my Mac) on BSD-family OSes. So that
tests can be green for the 4.2 release, let's more or less give up on
this output, and plan to pursue it in the future.

+TODO: this usually outputs good results, but sometimes emits abort:
+error: '' on FreeBSD and OS X.
+What we ideally want are:
+
+abort: error: Connection reset by peer (no-windows !)
+abort: error: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host (windows !)
+
+The flakiness in this output was observable easily with
+--runs-per-test=20 on macOS 10.12 during the freeze for 4.2.
