Existing tests use fixed length by default, whether XFixed is present or not. Without useXFixed() these tests would suddenly get chunked responses instead, since they don't set the `XFixed: yes` header.

It's not easy because `rspFixedRequested` is defined on the exchange while `useXFixed` is defined on the handler.
Tests will subclass `HttpTestHandler` and override `useXFixed` if they want to opt in. They can't easily subclass the exchange, and the exchange doesn't have access to the handler.
