Subject: [PATCH] test: test-lib.el: replace sleep-for with sit-for in
	notmuch-test-wait

The function `notmuch-test-wait` called `get-buffer-process` and
`sleep-for` in a loop. On some emacses neither of these cause emacs
to check whether the process has exited and update it's status
accordingly. In this case the loop does not exit.

The function `sit-for` goes into event loop via `read-event` function
call. `read-event` does not return when process exits but the event
loop used to determine whether there is keyboard, mouse, etc. event
updates the process status as a side effect of the (more generic)
event loop. `sit-for` is used here to restore the event into queue
in the improbable case `read-event` consumes an event.
