In high CPU usage scenarios such as our parallel itests, it seems that
some goroutines just don't get any CPU time before our test timeouts
expire. By polling 10 times less frequently, we hope to reduce the
overall number of goroutines that are spawned because of the RPC
requests within the polling code.
This commit constructs a helper closure assertAmountSent that can be
reused by other functions. The closure returns an error so that it can
be used with wait.NoError or the new wait.InvariantNoError. The latter
is added since the predicate could otherwise pass immediately for the
sphinx_replay_persistence tests, but change shortly after. It also
rounds out the wait package so that we offer all combinations of
predicate and no-error style waits.
