Title: #947: tests: fix race conditions in integration tests

sumit-bose commented:
"""
Hi,

about the race between adding e.g. the user to /etc/passwd and getting inotify 
processed.

Isn't this similar to why calling `sss_cache` was added `useradd` and other 
utilities from the shadow-utils package? Have you tried if instead of 
increasing the delay calling `sss_cache -E` would work as well?

If I see it correctly the test just adds a new line to /etc/passwd and then 
tries to lookup the freshly added user. I think whenever a cache is added in 
between this use case can only be covered if the cache is explicitly 
invalidated after adding the new line (shadow-utils is also calling `nscd -i 
...` is `nscd` is used). Using inotify helps if invalidating the cache was 
forgotten but it is only best effort.

bye,
Sumit
