[test] Fix flaky tests: test-only changes (split from #2624)

[sushantmane]

Summary

Test-only half of #2624, split out for reviewability. 86 files, no production code touched.

Fix categories (details and verification in #2624):

• AsyncGauge shared executor contention: dedicated AsyncGaugeExecutor per stats test instead of the shared static 3-thread executor that other tests can destroy via close()
• SIT assertion races: replace racy verify(timeout().times(N)) with waitForNonDeterministicAssertion; fix concurrent Mockito stubbing with AtomicReference
• JMM visibility: LeaderErrorNotifier.doOne made volatile (plain boolean written by drainer thread, read by test thread — timeouts could never fix this)
• Insufficient CI timeouts: participant store setup 30s→60s, client test timeouts raised
• Test-logic concurrency bugs: latch ordering, advance+verify retries, strict timestamp ordering in BackupVersionOptimizationServiceTest

All fixes were verified with 10/10 consecutive local passes and two rounds of targeted CI validation (90 job executions, zero failures) on the original PR.

Companion PRs:

• Production-code fixes: split into a separate PR (concurrency fixes in da-vinci/controller/pulsar/common)
• The build.gradle test-retry removal from [test] Fix 20+ flaky tests across multiple modules #2624 is intentionally excluded — it should land last, after flakies are fixed

Test plan

• CI green

Pull request overview

This PR contains test-only changes aimed at reducing CI flakiness across unit/integration/E2E suites by hardening asynchronous assertions, fixing test-side concurrency races, and increasing time budgets where CI contention makes prior limits unrealistic.

Changes:

• Replaced racy sleeps / single-shot assertions with TestUtils.waitForNonDeterministicAssertion(...) and added targeted synchronization to eliminate ordering/visibility races in tests.
• Introduced/used test utilities to make common operations more robust (e.g., idempotent createNewStore with retries; SleepStallingMockTime.awaitSleeper() to avoid “advance-before-sleep” races).
• Adjusted a number of per-test and fixture timeouts/tolerances to better match worst-case CI behavior.

Fixed in c58e0ad: the override now returns List<Runnable> and propagates the callbacks via return super.updateCache(onDemandRefresh). The signature drifted when main's RequestBasedMetadata changed after the original #2624 branch was cut.
