topotest: fix Lou's framework command wait

Fix two main issues:

  * Don't use float to figure out if we spent the time user asked;
  * Don't depend on system clock to find we reached the end of time;

The fix is basically pre caculating the amount of wait cycles we are
going to peform and use a counter.
