test: wait until the unit leaves the 'inactive' state as well

In many CI runs I noticed a race where we check the "active" state a bit
too early where the unit is still in the "inactive" state, causing the
`is-failed` check to fail. Mitigate this by waiting even if the unit is
in the inactive state and introduce a "safe net" which checks whether
the unit is not restarting indefinitely or more than it should (as
described in the original issue #3166).

Example:
```
[    5.757784] testsuite-11.sh[216]: + systemctl --no-block start fail-on-restart.service
[    5.853657] testsuite-11.sh[222]: ++ systemctl show --value --property ActiveState fail-on-restart.service
[    5.946044] testsuite-11.sh[216]: + active_state=inactive
[    5.946044] testsuite-11.sh[216]: + [[ inactive == \a\c\t\i\v\a\t\i\n\g ]]
