[v9,30/30] t7527: improve implicit shutdown testing in fsmonitor--daemon

Commit Message

From: Jeff Hostetler <[e-mail]>

Refactor the tests that exercise implicit shutdown cases
to make them more robust and less racy.

The fsmonitor--daemon will implicitly shutdown in a variety
of situations, such as when the ".git" directory is deleted
or renamed.

The existing tests would delete or rename the directory, sleep
for one second, and then check the status of the daemon.  This
is racy, since the client/status command has no way to sync
with the daemon.  This was noticed occasionally on very slow
CI build machines where it would cause a random test to fail.

Replace the simple sleep with a sleep-and-retry loop.

+#
+# We're looking for an implicit shutdown, such as when we delete or
+# rename the ".git" directory.  Our delete/rename will cause a file
+# system event that the daemon will see and the daemon will
+# auto-shutdown as soon as it sees it.  But this is racy with our `git
+# fsmonitor--daemon status` commands (and we cannot use a cookie file
+# here to help us).  So spin a little and give the daemon a chance to
+# see the event.  (This is primarily for underpowered CI build/test
+# machines (where it might take a moment to wake and reschedule the
+# daemon process) to avoid false alarms during test runs.)
