[tor-commits] [chutney/master] verify: Wait for a consistent amount of time



commit 95ce144c2615dd9400a41d8374e56683ad9975b6
Author: teor <teor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    verify: Wait for a consistent amount of time
    
    Wait for a consistent amount of time between verify attempts,
    regardless of the time elapsed during the attempt.
    
    Try to make at least 2 verify attempts per consensus interval,
    but also try to limit the number of attempts.
    
    Also increase the default timeout: sometimes 3 seconds is too
    short on a heavily-loaded machine.
    
    These changes should make verification more reliable.
    
    Part of 33379.
