Hi, Sergei!

I give some general comments below.

Please, update if you are agree with my comments and review the patch
with Vladimir.

WBR, Alexander Turenko.

I think it would be better to allow to reuse this pattern across tests:
place the function into test_run.lua and create a wrapper around
'grep_log', say, 'wait_log'. In this case timeout should not be
hardcoded and always should come from a test. Delay can be hardcoded.

When I need precise time I use clock.monotonic64(), because fiber.time()
value is updated sporadically depending on fiber scheduling / fiber pool
mechanics. Maybe that is not the case and fiber.time() is okay here,
just note to think about.

Now we don't check that 'saving snapshot' does not appear during some
time period. Maybe we should check it after 'making snapshot'.
