Using a timed `wait` rather than a naked sleep allows the control thread to be more responsive to requests from mutators and the regulator thread to start GC cycles. The sleep time is also changed from `ShenandoahControlIntervalMin` to `ShenandoahControlIntervalMax` to reduce unnecessary polling cycles. We could use a plain `wait`, but the control thread is responsible for periodically sending allocation metrics to the `pacer`.
