test(subscriber): prefer sleep over yield_now in tests (#475)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
A flakiness problem has been discovered with the `console-subscriber`
integration tests introduced in #452. Issue #473 is tracking the issue.

It has been observed that we only "miss" the wake operation event when
it comes from `yield_now()`, but not when it comes from a task that
yielded due to `sleep`, even when the duration is zero. it is likely
that this is due to nature of the underlying race condition.

This change removes all the calls to `yield_now()` from the `framework`
tests, except those where we wish to actually test self wakes.
Additionally, all the sleeps have been moved out into a separate function
which describes why we're using `sleep` instead of `yield_now` when
either of them would be sufficient.
