t4211: retire soon-to-be unimplementable tests
58960978 and 99780b0a added tests which demonstrated bugs (crashes) in
range-set and line-log when handed empty ranges specified via "log
-LX:file" where X is one greater than the last line of the file. After
these tests were added, it was realized that the ability to specify an
empty range is a loophole due to a bug in -L bounds checking. That bug
is slated to be fixed in a subsequent patch.
Unfortunately, the closure of this loophole makes it impossible to
continue checking range-set and line-log behavior with regard to empty
ranges since there is no other way to specify empty ranges via the
command-line. APIs of both facilities are private (file static) so
there likewise is no way to test their behaviors programmatically.
Consequently, retire these two tests.
