Audit tests have been slow. They rely on wait_for function. This function first sleeps for the duration of the time step specified, and then calls the given function. The audit tests need 0.02-0.03 seconds for the given function, but the operation lasts around 1.02-1.03 seconds, since step is 1 second. This patch modifies wait_for dtest function so it first executes the given function, and afterwards calls time.sleep(step). This reduces time needed for the given function from 1.03 to 0.03 seconds. Total audit tests suite speedup is 3x. On the developer machine the time is reduced from 13+ minutes to 4 minutes. This patch also improves performance of some alternator tests that use the same wait_for dtest function. Refs SCYLLADB-573

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
