    tests: avoid test failure due to rmdir race

* tests/init.sh (remove_tmp_): If the rm -rf fails, wait a second
and try again.  This works around a problem I observed on Solaris
10 on a circa 2001 Sun Fire 280R with a single 750 MHz UltraSPARC
III, where a subprocess had not yet exited by the time the test
script attempted to remove the subprocess’s working directory.
This can happen, for example, if the process A in the shell
command ‘A | B’ closes stdout, checks that the close succeeded
-- a necessary check if stdout is NFS, on Solaris anyway --
and uses that check to affect its exit status.
In this situation, B can read end-of-file from its standard input
and exit before A exits, and then the shell, which waits only for B,
can then attempt to remove A’s working directory during cleanup.
This is not a problem on GNU/Linux where one can remove a
process’s working directory, but it is a problem on Solaris 10
which does not allow this.  POSIX allows the Solaris 10 behavior.
