test: give more time to GC in test-shadow-realm-gc-*

When --node-builtin-modules-path is used, we read and create
new strings for builtins in each realm which increases the memory
usage. As a result GC may not be able to keep up with the
allocation done in the loop in the test.

As a workaround, give GC a bit more time by waiting for a timer
in the loop.
