Hi,

(see <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53060#3>.)

by extending with-http-server to with-http-server* to allow arbitrary
request handlers and extending with-http-server to allow verifying the
URI of a request.

tests/cpan.scm has been modified to verify the URIs.
tests/import-github.scm and tests/minetest.scm have been modified to
avoid mocking.

Somewhat unrelated, tests/lint.scm, tests/cpan.scm and
tests/challenge.scm have been modified to avoid hard coding ports,
as a follow-up to commit c05ceaf2b650d090cf39a048193505cb4e6bd257:

 [...]
 Previously, test cases could fail if some process was listening
 at a hard-coded port. This patch eliminates most of these
 potential failures, by automatically assigning an unbound port. 
 This should allow for building multiple guix trees in parallel
 outside a build container, though this is currently untested.
 [...]

After this patch series, there's to my knowledge only one instance of
hardcoded ports remaining, in tests/lint.scm ("home-page: Connection
refused").
