It seems that this test became flaky only recently, although I have to admit
that I have no idea why: the involved code does not seem to have changed
recently at all. It should have been fixed by 
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200506220741.71021-1-jonathantanmy@google.com/
, but apparently wasn't completely fixed, despite what I said in that
thread.

Changes since v2:

 * Dropped patch 3/3 because it was only intended to be defensive
   programming, but turned out to be too hard without layering violations.

Changes since v1:

 * Instead of papering over the underlying cause, the patch was completely
   changed to actually fix the bug and add a proper regression test for it
   (originally, I wanted to act according to the common notion that good
   programmers are lazy, oh my, see how well that worked out for me).
 * We now specifically watch out for future bugs where incomplete sideband
   messages would be dropped inadvertently rather than being reported at EOF
   or at encountering a flush/error packet.
 * Before sending 0-length data to demultiplex_sideband(), we now make sure
   that it is not marked as a data packet; Otherwise we now complain loudly
   about a bug.

Johannes Schindelin (2):
  sideband: avoid reporting incomplete sideband messages
  sideband: report unhandled incomplete sideband messages as bugs

Thanks, the remaining two look identical, so let me preserve the
timestamps by just dropping the tip one from what is queued, instead
of queuing these two patches.
