With the use of a Docker container (to prevent port collisions) and a
stack of cleanups to test code, I've made some progress towards
reliable test runs in our environment.
(https://github.com/mkedwards/zookeeper/commits/rollup-3.5, if you're
curious.)  The list below consists of the "top 40" slowest individual
tests.  Note that several appear multiple times, because of the
inclusion of classes containing slow tests in NioNettySuiteTest and
NettyNettySuiteTest.

I'm somewhat hesitant to undertake further overhauls of the test
suite, because I've already found myself having to make the kinds of
changes that tend to be uphill battles, code-review-wise -- especially
coming from an outsider.
https://github.com/mkedwards/zookeeper/commit/e02eb705c6550f51ebb860a474ce711ec68c7a24
is an example.  If a Zookeeper committer is interested in working with
me on this, maybe email me?  Otherwise, I'll try to keep this branch
rebased regularly, and hammer on the remaining flaky tests to see what
I can learn.
