test: deflake test-http2-debug

Native debug writes can be lost when the non-blocking stderr pipe fills, leaving expected log lines missing even when the child exits successfully. Capture stderr in a temporary file and apply the existing assertions to its contents. Remove the flaky designation on Linux s390x.
