CI Flake `test_graceful_htlc`

[ddustin]

test_graceful_htlc flaking on CI appears to have been introduced by PR #9111 (CI logs)

FAILED tests/test_misc.py::test_graceful_htlc - ValueError: Timeout while waiting for <function test_graceful_htlc.<locals>.<lambda> at 0x7f6419c567a0>

Let's get this test to stop flaking. Here are some relevant info from the failed CI run:

Interestingly it appears lightning-1 is shutting down before lightning-2 gets the notification message it's waiting for.

Ran into a seperate failure case while trying to recreate it locally:

...
        fut = executor.submit(run_graceful)

        # Wait until graceful has sent at least one HTLC expiry notification
        wait_for(lambda: len(notifications) == 1)
        wait_for(lambda: notifications[0] == f'Next HTLC SENT_ADD_ACK_REVOCATION expires at block #118 (10 blocks from now) going to peer {l3.info["id"]} (connected)')

        # This will tell us about htlcs and the peers (peers unordered)
        ret = l2.rpc.graceful(1)
        assert ret in ({'pending_htlc_expiries': [118, 124],
                        'pending_peers': [l1.info['id'], l3.info['id']]},
                       {'pending_htlc_expiries': [118, 124],
                        'pending_peers': [l3.info['id'], l1.info['id']]})

        # Close incoming connection, so incoming HTLC gets stuck.
        l1.rpc.disconnect(l2.info['id'], force=True)
        wait_for(lambda: notifications[-1] == f'Next HTLC SENT_ADD_ACK_REVOCATION expires at block #118 (10 blocks from now) going to peer {l3.info["id"]} (connected)')

        # Release the hold so the *outgoing* HTLC resolves
        open(os.path.join(l3.daemon.lightning_dir, TEST_NETWORK, "unhold"), "w").close()

        wait_for(lambda: notifications[-1] == f'Next HTLC SENT_REMOVE_HTLC expires at block #124 (16 blocks from now) coming from peer {l1.info["id"]} (disconnected)')

        ret = l2.rpc.graceful(1)
        assert ret == {'pending_htlc_expiries': [124]}

        # Reconnect and it will settle.
        l1.rpc.connect(l2.info['id'], 'localhost', l2.port)
