tests/functional: ignore errors when caching assets, except for 404

We see periodic errors caching assets due to a combination of transient
networking and server problems. With the previous patch to skip running
a test when it has missing assets, we can now treat most cache download
errors as non-fatal.

Only HTTP 404 is retained as fatal, since it is a strong indicator of
a fully broken test rather than a transient error.
