We use eventually() in tests to wait for eventually consistent data
to become consistent. However, we see spurious failures indicating
that we wait too little.
Increasing the timeout has a negative side effect in that tests that
fail will now take longer to do so. However, this negative side effect
is negligible to false-positive failures, since they throw away large
test efforts and sometimes require a person to investigate the problem,
only to conclude it is a false positive.
This patch therefore makes eventually() more patient, by a factor of
32.
Fixes#4707.
