Steady the registry-cap tests

The npm restore test now asks only that lookups overlap, with a
200ms response delay, so a slow CI runner that doesn't line up all
four slots at once can't fail it. The cap check itself (never more
than registry_concurrency() in flight) is unchanged. Also gives the
test server a requests() accessor and says in the client docs that
every request it sends takes a slot, private registries and the
patch service's checksum metadata included.
