remotefilelog: reduce probability of race-condition in remotefilelog tests
ca1014ad3de4 introduced a new parameter `ensurestart` to speed up
remotefilelog background processes start. Unfortunately it seems to have
increased the possibility of race-conditions in remotefilelog tests testing
those background processes.
With `ensurestart=False`, it seems that it's more probable to enter in a race
condition with `debugwaitonprefetch` and `debugwaitonrepack` in remotefilelog
background tests. Our CI seems to have a high probability of triggering this
race condition so make it configurable to ensure tests are stable.

A script to generate nasty diff worst-case scenarios:
$ cat > s.py <<EOF
> import random
> for x in range(100000):
> print
> if random.randint(0, 100) >= 50:
> x += 1
> print(hex(x))
> EOF
$ hg init a
$ cd a
Check in a big file:
$ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a
$ hg ci -qAm0
Modify it:
$ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a
Time a check-in, should never take more than 10 seconds user time:
$ hg ci --time -m1
time: real .* secs .user [0-9][.].* sys .* (re)
