      Make KafkaDecoder tests run Lockstep to fix races · cdf3e7af
      David Fairbrother authored
      Converts the Kafka[Event/Histo]StreamDecoder tests to run in lockstep
      whenever possible. The previous version held the unit test for n number
      of Kafka steps then let both threads run free.
      
      This fixes numerous races resulting in flakey tests, for example is
      HistoStreamDecoder we waited for 1 iteration whereas three was required.
      Rather than just tweaking the values and hoping this new mechanism will
      deadlock if the threads get into a race-y condition. A timeout ensures
      that after 2 minutes we fail with an abort stating we deadlocked.
      
      This flushed out multiple races in the StreamDecoder too, however some
      tests which rely on the EndOfRunStream have to run unsyncronised: The
      the thread will block and the Kafka thread waits for ExtractData to be
      called, causing a deadlock. If we are having problems in the future that
      would be the first place to look, however for this commit it's out of
      scope.
