tests: fix races in and standardize the tail tests
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-missing.sh: Use standard "fastpoll" options (-s.1 --max-unchanged-stats=1) to speedup the non-inotify case. Add the non-inotify case to the test. `wait` on the background tail process to terminate which should avoid the need for the non standard `retry_delay_ cleanup ...` on NFS. * tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh: Remove 'out' at the start of the loop, to avoid a race in checking its contents. Also ensure 'a' & 'b' files are present before the tail process starts. Use the standard "fastpoll" options as above. * tests/tail-2/f-vs-rename.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/append-only.sh: Use more standard variable names. * tests/tail-2/flush-initial.sh: Use "fastpoll" options for non-inotify platforms. Also `wait` on the background tail to avoid stray processes and file cleanup issues on NFS. * tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse.sh: Always run non-inotify case. Use "fastpoll" options. Use a more standard retry_delay_ instead of a hardcoded sleep loop. Add a `wait` on the background tail. * tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse2.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate-resources.sh: Wait just on the specific tail $pid needed. * tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate.sh: Use "fastpoll" options. * tests/tail-2/pid.sh: Use standard variable names. Add a `wait` on the background tails. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f2.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/tail-n0f.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Use "fastpoll" options. * tests/tail-2/symlink.sh: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait.sh: Likewise. Speedup by using sub second parameters to timeout(1). Improve the part ensuring that -F never follows a renamed file. * tests/tail-2/infloop-1.sh: Remove invalid test. tail(1) was not being passed the --pid=$yes_pid option, retry_delay_ wasn't used to avoid races, and yes could write huge files before being killed. * tests/local.mk: Remove the invalid test reference. * tests/tail-2/assert-2.sh: Rewrite using retry_delay_(). Since no longer hardcoding large delays, remove the VERY_EXPENSIVE tag. * tests/tail-2/assert.sh: Likewise.
