Avi Kivity c36f71c783 test: make eventually() more patient
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.
