Description

There are some measurements that present installation software bugs and we should be ignoring those when processing data.

An example of this is installation issues with pyopenssl that present http_experiment_failure as unknown_failure 'module' object has no attribute 'OP_SINGLE_ECDH_USE' see: https://explorer.ooni.torproject.org/measurement/20190424T123447Z_AS24863_kIRqlMN1n478mA8aHwvioi6ofIWlasCcJtabGeh255a3CmdzY6?input=https:%2F%2Fexplorer.ooni.io.
In particular this error is caused by a version of twisted which is incompatible with the installed pyopenssl version.
For more background on this specific issue see: https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/8315

As we find more of these it's perhaps useful to add them to this issue so we don't loose them.
