`kmip_test_helper()` is a utility function to spawn a dedicated PyKMIP
server for a particular Boost test case. The function runs the server as
an external process and uses a thread to parse the port from the
server's logs. The thread communicates the port to the main thread via
a promise.
The current implementation has a bug where the thread may set a value
to the promise after its destruction, causing a segfault. This happens
when the server does not start within 20 seconds, in which case the port
future throws and the stack unwinding machinery destroys the port
promise before the thread that writes to it.
Fix the bug by declaring the promise before the cleanup action.
The bug has been encountered in CI runs on slow machines, where the
PyKMIP server takes too long to create its internal tables (due to slow
fdatasync calls from SQLite). This patch does not improve CI stability -
it only ensures that the error condition is properly reflected in the
test output.
This patch is not a backport. The same bug has been fixed in master as
part of a larger rewrite of the `kmip_test_helper()` (see 722e2bce96).

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.
