    tests: Work around distributed system bugs in the Google Contacts servers
    
    Looks like the servers have changed to use weak synchronisation of new
    contacts, so querying for contacts immediately after adding them now
    often won’t return the new ones, or will return them with outdated IDs.
    ‘Fix’ this by adding a mandatory sleep after creating the contacts, and
    before querying them for the first time.
