[Alerting] fix flaky test for index threshold grouping

pmuellr · pmuellr · commit 0de2ffd14837 · 2020-03-20T17:18:20.000-04:00
resolves #60744 This is a fairly complex test, with alerts that run actions that write to an index which we then do queries over. The tests didn't account for some slop in all that async activity, but now should be about as flake-free as they can be.
