Fixed flaky tests

[hpoettker]

The tests previously tested assertions against the replica after executing changes in the source without waiting for the replication to converge.

At least on my machine, the tests currently fail at least a couple of times when executed in loops like

for i in $(seq 10); do prove t/pt-table-sync/pt-1256.t; done

or

for i in $(seq 10); do prove t/pt-table-sync/char_chunking.t; done

Thanks so much for the massive effort to adjust the code base to MySQL 8.4!
