tests: make pg_start() wait until pg completes
A sizable number of tests call pg_start() to get the packets flowing and then immediately expect to have the entirety of the packets gone through. This works on powerful and unstressed hardware, but fails in beautifully random ways under load. This also necessitates the complicated logic of remembering the "zombie captures", then sleeping for some time before cleaning them up.... The solution is simple: in pg_start(), start the generators, wait till they all finish, clean up, done.
