tests: add ctest lint rule forbidding bare QTest::qWait()
Bare qWait(N) calls in tests are easy to reintroduce inadvertently.
Add a ctest check that greps test sources for qWait() and fails if
any call is found without an // UNAVOIDABLE: comment on the same line.
The error message explains why the pattern is forbidden, lists the
signal-based alternatives, and shows how to suppress the check for
the rare cases where no signal or pollable condition exists.
