The test was lame, and the API sucked. I fixed this just now: the
Deferred that MultiService.stopService returns now results in a dict
that looks like {serviceObject: (successOrFail, resultFromService)}.

This API was only added a week or two ago, so I didn't bother doing
any backwards compatibility.
