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.
