 The test_event_handling test in 'test/integ/control/controller.py' relies
 on the timing of BW events to work. In theory tor should provide one of
 these events each second, but on our jenkins host this isn't always the
 case. In fact, sometimes tor goes over five seconds without emitting a BW
 event.

 We need to fix the test to be more reliable. To do this we need to do an
 action with the controller guaranteed to generate an event then listen for
 that (instead of BW). CONF_CHANGED might be a good candidate.

 I'm disabling the test until we can sort this out.
