Remove tests from ct-simple_ha that fail frequently

After looking at the last 20 builds in the server-release:v3.9.x
pipeline, 2 builds succeeded on the first run. Even though we retry
each build 3 times, out of the last 50 builds, 28 passed & 22 failed.

We (+@dumbbell) removed the tests which fail more often than they pass.
If anyone wants to add them back, please rewrite them as in the current
form they simply don't work. Alternatively, they are hinting to a
failure in the system which needs addressing. Both are out of the
current scope.
