Subject: [PATCH] Fix race conditions in TlsHandshakeTimeoutServer

`close()` did not wait for the server thread to finish, so it could read
stale state (`requestReceived`, `throwable`) while the thread was still
running. This caused two intermittent failures:

- "Never received a request": `close()` checked requestReceived before
  the server thread set it after accept() returned.
- "Exception thrown while TlsHandshakeTimerOuter was running": the
  server thread got an expected IOException or BUFFER_UNDERFLOW when the
  client timed out and disconnected, and `close()` rethrew it.

Fix: store the Thread reference and `join()` it in `close()` after
closing the sockets. Remove the `requestReceived` and `throwable` checks
since all server-side exceptions are expected (the client is designed to
time out) and client-side assertions already validate correctness.
