While working on the e2e tests, I noticed this test was taking a
long time. Turns out this was because it fully exercises an http
client retry logic using exponential backoff and up to 4 retries.
To reduce the costs, I changed the test to use controlled
environment instead. This still hits the same code-paths but
provides a faster turnaround by using at most 1 retry, and issuing
retries immediately.
With these changes, the test completes in 3s (instead of 28s).
I noticed that some of the tests to check an "unreliable" server
where non-deterministic (multiple parallel requests that sometimes
fail or succeed). The changes here also make it deterministic. While
this test seems to have some flakes due to other reasons, my hope is
that these changes will reduce the chances of this test being flaky
on the bots.
