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:
```
