Existing tests were using the absence of a certain log message in channelz to verify that the channel did not enter IDLE (apart from checking the channel connectivity state). But these checks aren't great because if we decided to change the string we log, then the test case will no longer be valid but will continue to pass.
This PR uses the closing of the LB policy as a proxy for channel entering IDLE mode instead.
Fixes #6612
