global_SUITE: Eliminate redundant registration of 'test_server' process
global_SUITE registers the name 'test_server' in the global registry
for what seems to be only historical reasons. Exactly how it happened
is lost in the mists of time, but I think the following is a reasonable
reconstruction:
* At one point in time, the test_server application started to do
a global registration of a 'test_server' process to support
embedded systems when the test_server application was run on both a
host and a target system.
* global_SUITE had to be modified to take the pre-existing
'test_server' registration into account.
* When Erlang/OTP switched to using common_test, global_SUITE was
modified to register the 'test_server' name itself in commit
8bd07f450816eaaae52d28740d89ead1f930cd02 (since the test_server
application does not register the 'test_server' name when run
under control of common_test).
To slightly reduce the size of global_SUITE, remove the redundant
registration and stop expecting 'test_server' to be registered.
