Use "http" fixture per session to increase test runtime drasticallly #690

I noticed that tests that are only using data from the local HTTP server are running very slow. After investigation it turned out that the HTTP server's shutdown method takes about 0.5s to run. I filed https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/issues/46710 to get this investigated.

To workaround the issue we should use the http fixture per session and not per test.

Compared with CI checks that were running until now the duration drops from around 3:30 minutes to just 1 minute!
