Repeat curls at equal intervals

[JoukoVirtanen]

Description

The TestRepeatedNetworkFlowWithZeroAfterglowPeriod fails frequently with errors such as

=== RUN   TestRepeatedNetworkFlowWithZeroAfterglowPeriod/TestRepeatedNetworkFlow
    expect_conn.go:72: 
        	Error Trace:	/home/runner/work/collector/collector/integration-tests/pkg/mock_sensor/expect_conn.go:72
        	            				/home/runner/work/collector/collector/integration-tests/suites/repeated_network_flow.go:114
        	Error:      	timed out
        	Test:       	TestRepeatedNetworkFlowWithZeroAfterglowPeriod/TestRepeatedNetworkFlow
        	Messages:   	found 4 connections (expected 3)

This PR does not fix that, but improves logging for this test. A partial fix is in another PR #2642. This PR also makes it so that the intervals between the curls will be more precise. Currently a sleep is used between curls. This means that the time between the start of when two curl commands are executed is actually the sleep time plus the time taken by the curl command. This PR makes it so that the time between curl commands is actually the intended time.

Testing Performed

Ran locally and checked the logs of the qa-schedule-curls container.

Saw the following in the logs

[18:27:37.387] Executing curl (Meta: 1/1, Iter: 1/3)
Curl timing: start=[18:27:37.387], end=[18:27:37.390], duration=0.003s
[18:27:40.389] Executing curl (Meta: 1/1, Iter: 2/3)
Curl timing: start=[18:27:40.389], end=[18:27:40.401], duration=0.012s
[18:27:43.390] Executing curl (Meta: 1/1, Iter: 3/3)
Curl timing: start=[18:27:43.390], end=[18:27:43.402], duration=0.012s
Script finished successfully.

The precision of time.sleep is about 1-10ms so the timings still are not precise to the millisecond.

Previously the container was started with a sleep command. That meant that no logs were obtained. Now that the container is started with the python script, we get logs for the python script.
