the robot test case to find the new leader normally first polls on /restconf/modules
before going to jolokia to check the car shard for leadership. in some failure cases
we notice that the polling goes for 35s on /restconf/modules (polling 5 times with
5s timeouts) and fails. We want to skip that check and just go straight to /jolokia
just to collect that data point.

/restconf/modules should still respond, imho, so we would want to figure that out
eventually as well
