Fix race conditions in test_threading lock tests. Wait until a
condition is met rather than using time.sleep() with a hardcoded
number of seconds.

  • Replace sleeping loops with support.sleeping_retry() which raises
    an exception on timeout.
  • Add wait_threads_blocked(nthread) which computes a sleep depending
    on the number of threads. Remove _wait() function.
  • test_set_and_clear(): use a way longer Event.wait() timeout.
  • BarrierTests.test_repr(): wait until the 2 threads are waiting for
    the barrier. Use a way longer timeout for Barrier.wait() timeout.
  • test_thread_leak() no longer needs to count
    len(threading.enumerate()): Bunch uses
    threading_helper.wait_threads_exit() internally which does it in
    wait_for_finished().
  • Add BaseLockTests.wait_phase() which implements a timeout.
    test_reacquire() and test_recursion_count() use wait_phase().
    (cherry picked from commit 4e356ad)
