Add CI-runnable HTTP test fixture on the testsrvr/testclnt harness

Drives socket.http.request against fully scripted, controlled raw HTTP
responses over a real socket by reusing the existing testsrvr.lua
remote-execution server -- no Apache, no Docker, no third-party hosts.
Proves the fixture with a plain-GET smoke test, a chunked-transfer-
encoding smoke test, and a test asserting a response body delivered
across separately-timed writes (the incremental-delivery capability the
upcoming SSE tests need). Wires the new test into the CI regression step.

+-- Test fixture for exercising socket.http.request against a fully
+-- controlled, scripted HTTP response -- no Apache, no Docker, no
+-- third-party hosts. Built on top of the existing testsrvr.lua remote-
+-- execution server (see test/testclnt.lua for the `remote()` protocol this
+-- reuses): a control connection sends Lua snippets for testsrvr.lua to
+-- `load()` and run, which is how it's told to accept the connection that
+-- socket.http.request makes and write raw response bytes back to it.
+local socket = require("socket")
+
+local M = {}
+
+M.host = "localhost"
+M.port = "8383"
+
+-- Connects to a running testsrvr.lua as a control channel and returns a
+-- `remote(fmt, ...)` function that scripts a Lua snippet to run on the
+-- server. Mirrors test/testclnt.lua's own remote(): the snippet is
+-- squashed onto a single line (embedded newlines become ';', runs of
+-- whitespace collapse to one space) since the control channel is
+-- line-oriented, and the ack sent back is only proof the server received
+-- the command, not that it finished running it -- so a snippet that blocks
+-- (e.g. server:accept()) doesn't stall the caller.
+function M.connect(host, port)

+-- Turns a raw Lua string into a single-line, double-quoted Lua string
+-- literal safe to embed in a remote()-scripted snippet: escapes backslash,
+-- quote, and every whitespace control character so no byte in the
+-- *encoded* text is itself whitespace. remote() collapses whitespace runs
+-- and turns newlines into ';', which would otherwise corrupt raw response
+-- bytes (status lines/headers/chunked framing all rely on literal CRLF).
