There are a couple of places where the test script "sleep"s to wait for
some external condition to be met.

This is error prone, specially in slow systems (identified in CI by
"KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW=yes").

To fix this, add a "ovs_wait" function that tries to execute a command
a few times until it succeeds. The timeout used is set to 5s for
"normal" systems and doubled if a slow CI machine is detected.

This should make the following work:

$ vng --build  \
    --config tools/testing/selftests/net/config \
    --config kernel/configs/debug.config

$ vng --run . --user root -- "make -C tools/testing/selftests/ \
    KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW=yes TARGETS=net/openvswitch run_tests"

This patch is supposed to fix openvswitch selftests on "-dbg" machines.
However, as Simon points out, all recent rounds are failing [1]. I don't
see this patch being included in the batches and I was wondering why.

Also I see a (presumably unrelated) build error netdev/build_32bit.
Is there anything I can do?

Thanks.

Seem like we don't have a signal from CI for some reason yet,
but I tested this locally and it seem to work fine.  Either
way it's a better way of doing things than sleep'n'hope.

Hopefully fixed now, we'll see if it gets into the next run.
