Some hosts are slow or overloaded so test execution takes a long time.
Test cases use timeouts to protect against an infinite loop stalling the
test forever (especially important in automated test setups).
Commit 6cd14054b6 ("libqos virtio:
Increase ISR timeout") increased the clock_step() value in an attempt to
lengthen the virtio interrupt wait timeout, but timeout failures are
still occuring on the Travis automated testing platform.
This is because clock_step() only affects the guest's virtual time.
Virtio requests can be bottlenecked on host disk I/O latency - which
cannot be improved by stepping the clock, so the fix was ineffective.
This patch changes the qvirtio_wait_queue_isr() and
qvirtio_wait_config_isr() timeout mechanism from loop iterations to
microseconds. This way the test case can specify an absolute 30 second
timeout. Number of loop iterations is not a reliable timeout mechanism
since the speed depends on many factors including host performance.
Tests should no longer timeout on overloaded Travis instances.

The virtio event_index feature lets the device driver tell the device
how many requests to process before raising the next interrupt.
virtio-blk-test.c tries to verify that the device does not raise an
interrupt unnecessarily.
Unfortunately the test has a race condition. It spins checking for an
interrupt up to 100 times and then assumes the request has finished. On
a slow host the I/O request could still be in flight and the test would
fail.
This patch waits for the request to complete, or until a 30-second
timeout is reached. If an interrupt is raised while waiting the test
fails since the device was not supposed to raise interrupts.

Increase the clock step to avoid Travis failure in some builds due to
overagressive timeout.
