[chore] [exporter/signalfx] Rework property/tags update tests (open-telemetry#36086)

Rework the tests to explicitly control requests handling by the mock
server. Use channels to control start and finish of request handling
instead of relying on timer and timeouts.

All the tests in the package are now executed in 1.5 seconds compared to
19 seconds as before the change.

This change also unblocks
open-telemetry#36044
which can be covered after this
