tests: Work around distributed system bugs in the Google Contacts servers
Looks like the servers have changed to use weak synchronisation of new
contacts, so querying for contacts immediately after adding them now
often won’t return the new ones, or will return them with outdated IDs.
‘Fix’ this by adding a mandatory sleep after creating the contacts, and
before querying them for the first time.
