testing/firewall: avoid SIGPIPE in drop-counter probe

The drop-counter sanity check piped `nft list table inet fips`
through `awk '/counter packets/ {print $3; exit}'`. Awk's `exit`
on first match closes the pipe, the upstream `nft list` SIGPIPEs
on its next write, `set -o pipefail` makes the pipeline return
141, and the surrounding command-substitution aborts the script
before it can assign DROP_PKTS or print the section header.

Replaces the early-exit pattern with `/counter packets/ && !seen
{ print $3; seen=1 }` — same first-match output, but awk reads
the full input so nft never SIGPIPEs.

The original form had been latent for as long as the test has
existed; recent CI runs at master tip 53ad528 finally tripped
it (output shows the script dying immediately after the case-(d)
PASS, before "=== Drop counter incremented..." prints).

Verified locally: `bash testing/ci-local.sh --only firewall`
runs all six setup-and-functional steps green and prints
"PASS: drop counter = 5".
