    bpo-35518: Skip test that relies on a deceased network service. (GH-15349) · 198a0d62

    If this service had thoroughly vanished, we could just ignore the
    test until someone gets around to either recreating such a service
    or redesigning the test to somehow work locally.  The
    `support.transient_internet` mechanism catches the failure to
    resolve the domain name, and skips the test.
    
    But in fact the domain snakebite.net does still exist, as do its
    nameservers -- and they can be quite slow to reply.  As a result
    this test can easily take 20-30s before it gets auto-skipped.
    
    So, skip the test explicitly up front.
