Previously, tests that waited for a PERSISTENT-QVM or JOB to reach a particular state would just blindly loop repeating the request and hope for the best. This commit adds a WAIT-FOR function that retries the request with an increasing backoff delay between failures.
I don't know if http requests suddenly got faster or if something in the QVM suddenly got slower, but I noticed the wait/resume test suddenly started failing on my laptop without this change.
