support/testing: improve mosquitto test reliability

The mosquitto runtime test can randomly fail on slow
runners, see [1].

This commit improves this test in the following ways:

- the mosquitto_sub subscriber process is now started in a subshell
to suppress the job control messages (to prevent any spurious
messages when the job stops),

- the standard error is redirected to /dev/null, to prevent the
printing of any messages,

- the mosquitto_pub publisher process is started later, by increasing
the sleep time,

- finally, a new sleep time is introduced between the mosquitto_pub
publisher process and the check of the mosquitto_sub subscriber, to
make sure it will have time to write its output and exit.
