Subject: [PATCH 05/11] test(utils): consolidate duplicate helper functions
 from spec files into test_utils.js

- Move requestAndConcat (string result) to test_utils.js
- Add readUrl (Buffer result) for binary/charset-sensitive comparisons
- Remove duplicate getServersAsync, closeServers, request helpers from
  short_response_spec.js, unblocker_spec.js, charset_spec.js, websockets_spec.js
- Standardize cleanup: use closeServers in websockets_spec instead of
  servers.kill() callback directly
- All 42 tests pass

+ - Move request(url) (from short_response_spec) → rename to makeRequest? Or just call it requestAll. Same pattern across 
+   files, different name = same purpose. Also alias as readUrlforcharset_spec.js which uses a different underling HTTP   
+   client (node:http). Need to decide: unify or keep both with clear naming. The simpler path is likely just one that    
+   uses http.get(url), unblocker_spec.js:hyperquest(url)pattern but that's already handled by the

+ So for Task 2: check if performance.js is part of the normal test suite or a standalone benchmark. If it still          
+ callbacks, either convert performance.js to match the async pattern, then in test_utils make getServers callback        
+ wrapper and only keep getServersAsync→ becomes the singlegetServers`.

- - Move request(url) (from short_response_spec) → rename to makeRequest? Or just call it requestAll. Same pattern across 
-   files, different name = same purpose. Also alias as readUrlforcharset_spec.js which uses a different underling HTTP   
-   client (node:http). Need to decide: unify or keep both with clear naming. The simpler path is likely just one that    
-   uses http.get(url), unblocker_spec.js:hyperquest(url)pattern but that's already handled by the

- callbacks, either convert performance.js to match the async pattern, then in test_utils make getServers callback        
- wrapper and only keep getServersAsync→ becomes the singlegetServers`.

Subject: [PATCH 11/11] Remove deprecated callback-based getServers from test
 utilities

getServers was migrated to async/await in performance.js and is no
longer used anywhere. Inlined its logic directly into getServersAsync
and removed the dead callback-based wrapper.
