tests: simplify and fix a race in 2 tail --follow tests
* tests/tail-2/pid: Use the timeout command to determine process
longevity, rather than querying /proc/$pid/status.
The latter was racy in any case when inotify is used, as then
tail wakes up periodically even for unchanging files therefore
causing the check for "S (sleeping)" state to fail intermittently.
* tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise.
