We see periodic errors caching assets due to a combination of transient networking and server problems. With the previous patch to skip running a test when it has missing assets, we can now treat most cache download errors as non-fatal.
Only HTTP 404 is retained as fatal, since it is a strong indicator of a fully broken test rather than a transient error. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
