Most browsers have deprecated support for X-XSS-Protection:

Furthermore implementations can be vulnerable for cross-site leak attacks:

Website owners should use Content-Security-Policy (CSP) without allowing unsafe-inline scripts instead.

Proposal: remove test for X-XSS-Protection

Ok. Given the above (very little support, possible vulnerabilitty and CSP alternative), I suggest to just remove this test and not make it optional.
