fix(tests): stabilize three flaky tests under parallel full-solution load

#1 EventPumpBoundedChannelTests.Tags_metrics_with_client_name_for_multi_driver_hosts:
Replace fixed Task.Delay(100) with a poll-until-condition loop (5 s
timeout, 25 ms poll) so the test waits until the galaxy.events.received
measurement for galaxy.client=Driver-X actually lands in the listener.
Also adds lock(captured) in the MeterListener callback and at all reads,
since Counter.Add() fires the callback on the RunAsync background thread.

#2 VirtualTagEngineTests.Upstream_change_triggers_cascade_through_two_levels:
After waiting for B=15.0, also await WaitForConditionAsync for C=30.0
before asserting C. The cascade runs B then C sequentially under the
_evalGate semaphore; the prior code could read C while its evaluation
had not yet acquired the gate.

#3 ThreeUserInteropMatrixTests.Admin_Resolves_All_Five_Groups_From_LDAP:
Wrap the AuthenticateAsync call in a 15 s linked CancellationTokenSource
with one retry so transient GLAuth latency spikes under parallel test
load do not cause a CancellationToken expiry before the LDAP bind/search
complete.
