Three consistent autopilot test failures

[Michał Sawicz]

We seem to have stabilized on three tests failing repeatedly:

unity8.indicators.tests.test_action_latency.TestClientRevertsToServerValue.test_slider_reverts_on_late_response(Native Device)
unity8.application_lifecycle.tests.test_application_lifecycle.ApplicationLifecycleTests.test_greeter_hides_on_app_open
unity8.indicators.tests.test_action_latency.TestBuffering.test_slider_buffers_activations(Native Device)

Example run:

https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/generic-deb-autopilot-runner-vivid-mako/2076/#showFailuresLink

The two latency ones are relatively new tests, the lifecycle one seems to be a new consistent failure.

What's even more important is that they're reliably reproducible locally using the steps below:

I think I realized why the lifecycle test fails - the fake app in fixture is suspended as soon as it's launched (because screen is locked if you have a passcode/password, as we do on a phone provisioned with the CI script), and the following dbus introspection timeouts are from the app, not from unity8.

unity8.indicators.tests.test_action_latency.TestClientRevertsToServerValue.test_slider_reverts_on_late_response fails because the wait_for is placed after the finger touch is released. As the slider reverts the value, if the next statement is not fast enough it will find the original value instead of the new one.
