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

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.
