[PATCHv3 net-next 1/4] selftests/net/forwarding: add slowwait functions

[Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@gmail.com>]

Add slowwait functions to wait for some operations that may need a long time
to finish. The busywait executes the cmd too fast, which is kind of wasting
cpu in this scenario. At the same time, if shell debugging is enabled with
`set -x`. the busywait will output too much logs.
