Control: tags -1 fixed-upstream patch

It looks like this is because the service this connects to started 
adding a blank line between entries, which this can't handle.  This is 
known upstream and easy to fix:

https://github.com/Bioconductor/KEGGREST/commit/b9132b53ecc8ba501e5976994fa7429568cd171c

However, while finding that I also saw the notice that this service 
prohibits non-academic-institution use, meaning we're not actually 
allowed to run these tests.  (The package code itself is open source, 
i.e. anyone is allowed to redistribute it, but not to use its main 
functionality.)
