tests: fix a timestamp issue, and other minor buglets

Reported by Panther Martin in automake bug#10848.

* tests/conffile-leading-dot.test: Add a proper '$sleep' invocation,
to avoid spurious failures on fast systems without sub-second
timestamp resolutions.  Add other minor related and unrelated
improvements and fixlets since we are at it.
