    Drop flaky test_query_with_timeout assertion
    
    Jenkins has long struggled with this assertion, and I see these failures
    locally from time to time too...
    
      ======================================================================
      FAIL: test_query_with_timeout
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mock/mock.py", line 1305, in patched
          return func(*args, **keywargs)
        File "/home/atagar/Desktop/stem/test/unit/descriptor/remote.py", line 387, in test_query_with_timeout
          self.assertEqual(2, dirport_mock.call_count)
      AssertionError: 2 != 3
    
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    No assertion is better than a flaky one, so dropping this last bit.
