------------------------------+-----------------------
 The new-in-4.2 `wp_install_maybe_enable_pretty_permalinks()`, called from
 `wp_install()`, works by sending a couple of remote requests to a dummy
 URL. The 5-second timeout for each of these checks is negligible during a
 normal installation. But adding ten seconds to the process of running
 `phpunit` is pretty crippling for dev work - especially since our unit
 tests assume that pretty permalinks are disabled by default.

 The attached patch is a suggested fix that doesn't require touching
 `/src/`. Not sure if it's kosher to slip this in for 4.2.
