zproject: Prevent having exactly 17/18 middlewares, for Python 3.11 bug.

Having exactly 17 or 18 middlewares, on Python 3.11.0 and above,
causes python to segfault when running tests with coverage; see
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/106092

Work around this by adding one or two no-op middlewares if we would
hit those unlucky numbers.  We only add them in testing, since
coverage is a requirement to trigger it, and there is no reason to
burden production with additional wrapping.
