What changes were proposed in this pull request?

I observe a previous suggested fix injected some delay, but I believe that fix might be unstable in a CI environment or when run on different machines, given the dependency on some constant wait time. I suggest a new way to fix the test by adding some synchronization for the test execution only. I at first identify the code location whose slow execution leads to the flaky test failure, I found com/alibaba/wasp/executor/EventHandler.java#193 slows the execution makes assertion failure. Hence, I introduce one variable in this test class that is only there to provide some synchronization. Basically, until these statements are executed, I force the thread that runs the test to wait before it accesses the assertion values. The waiting location is at com/alibaba/wasp/executor/TestExecutorService.java#82.

Solution: I run the test many times and it makes the test pass always.
