This removes some test redundancy in the multicast suite and tries to make convergence faster for integration RPW testing.
I was spurred on to tackle this by way of #9536. While this doesn't fully restore pre-multicast-introduced test times (likely due to more complete end-to-end network testing), it does reduce tail-end outliers when I run the
histtool against this branch.I do think we need to rethink our nexus testing suite altogether, though. Nonetheless, I think this should help some.
Note: I'm putting this post #9450 due to source handling involving many test changes from
main.
