The Custom-Symbolic-and-Byproduct case fails strangely on some
filesystems used by our nightly testing. Somehow on the first build the
`use-byproduct` output ends up with a timestamp older than
`gen-byproduct-stamp` even though the build log clearly shows them build
in the correct order (and must according to build system dependencies).
Work around this problem by adding an extra delay before building
`use-byproduct`.

The change in commit v3.5.0-rc1~198^2 (Ninja: Always re-run custom
commands that have symbolic dependencies, 2015-11-19) broke the
byproducts feature added by commit v3.2.0-rc1~340^2~2 (Add an option for
explicit BYPRODUCTS of custom commands, 2014-11-13) when SYMBOLIC
outputs also appear. This case occurs with AUTORCC-generated custom
targets because the output is SYMBOLIC (to always run) and the generated
file is a byproduct (for restat so dependents do not run unnecessarily).
The two use cases conflict because Ninja does not support per-output
restat. Favor restat whenever byproducts are present because it is
required for byproducts to work correctly. In use cases where we want
an always-run chain we simply will not be able to also use byproducts.
