Since the TLS tests were added a few people have reported seeing
hangs in some of the TLS test cases for migration. Debugging
has revealed that in all cases the test was waiting for a STOP
event that never arrived.

The problem is that TLS performance is highly dependant on the
crypto impl. Some people have been running tests on machines
which are highly efficient at running the guest dirtying workload
but relatively slow at TLS. This has prevented convergance from
being reliably achieved in the configured max downtime.

Since this test design has been long standing I suspect the
lack of convergance is a likely cause of previous hangs we've
seen in various scenarios that resulted in us disabling the test
on s390 TCG, ppc TCG and ppc KVM-PR.

Thus I have suggested we drop this skip conditions, though I would
note that I've not had the ability to actually test the effect that
this has.

Daniel P. Berrangé (5):
   tests: wait max 120 seconds for migration test status changes
   tests: wait for migration completion before looking for STOP event
   tests: increase migration test converge downtime to 30 seconds
   tests: use consistent bandwidth/downtime limits in migration tests
   tests: stop skipping migration test on s390x/ppc64

FYI, this is fixing the issue with the hang that I saw with the precopy/unix/tls/x509/override-host test on my RHEL8 s390x host.
