accounts/keystore: fix flaky test TestWalletNotifications

[Halimao]

This PR fixes the checkEvents part of the flaky test TestWalletNotifications. There is another flaky failure for checkAccounts.

// checkEvents checks that all events in 'want' are present in 'have'. Events may be present multiple times.
func checkEvents(t *testing.T, want []walletEvent, have []walletEvent) {}

The original logic of checkEvents seems to ask for both wantEvents and haveEvents to keep a consistent order so that this function could work correctly.

But actually, the order of both is not consistent. See the failed log comment on #29830

keystore_test.go:455: can't find event with Kind=2 for 56fe5c503fb7f1850298b7d6896cfd8019b525e1

Before this patch, the stress test of TestWalletNotifications failed by checkAccounts and checkEvents

Could you dump out the difference between live and wallets in L427 where the remaining error occurs?
Would be great to fix the test once and for all

[Halimao]

@MariusVanDerWijden I have Dumped out the difference between live and wallets, but this does a little help to find the bug.

It's more difficult to fix checkAccounts than checkEvents, I'm not sure if I can make it, but I will try it again.

[Halimao]

@MariusVanDerWijden I have found the reason for checkAccounts issue.

1. The following call chain will start watcher, and call scanAccounts after about 500ms:
   Keystore.NewAccount/Keystore.Delete -> Keystore.refreshWallets -> accountCache.accounts -> accountCache.maybeReload
2. There is no lock to ensure Keystore.Delete/Keystore.Add and scanAccounts are mutually exclusive

If we only fix the flaky test issue, to avoid executing scanAccounts we can reduce the round number 1024 to 500, following is the stress test result.

@MariusVanDerWijden Upgraded to use file cache lock, to ensure delete account and scanAccounts add account won't process at the same time.

[MariusVanDerWijden]

Cool nice find, reaching into the cache to acquire the lock kinda feels a bit weird to me. Feels like we are crossing the boundaries of our abstraction. I will think a bit about it

I'm not sure about the changes in checkEvents. For some events, the order matters. For example, wallet addition and removal should be emitted in the correct order. We can't verify that anymore with the way you rewrote the function.

Then there must be something wrong with the order of events sent by wallet addition and removal. All events were handled correctly indeed, no events were missing actually, but they were not in the expected order.

[sgerhardt]

I wonder if the changes to accounts/keystore/keystore_test.go here fix the account issue you mentioned?

edit: nm, it looks like these changes now fix the checkAccounts issue as well - at first I just read the initial comment which was focused on checkEvents, but after reading the rest of the comments and pulling your changes and running the tests I don't see the error related to checkAccounts now either. 👍

There is no event missing.

All events were handled correctly indeed, no events were missing actually, but they were not in the expected order.

We need to find out why they are out of order.
