Re: [fetch-tests] Reduce assert_throws(null, ...) usage in cors/ and selectors/ (#5389)

The log for the failed job shows that the tests were run for seven of the ten
iterations before the automation ultimately timed out. Since testhardness.js
accounts for timeouts, I don't think this reflects a problem in the JavaScript
runtime itself.

I've checked out this commit and run the "check stability" script locally, but
I was unable to reproduce the timeout. This means the issue may be due to a
race condition, and that the build could be made to pass by simply scheduling
another execution of this job. That's obviously not a long term fix, but
assuming it works at all, it will at least unblock you for now, @annevk.

In case you decide to try that, I'll leave a link to the failed job for
forensics purposes:
