The new glib/memory-monitor-dbus.test in GLib 2.70.0 seems to be failing
(at least sometimes) on ppc64el and i386 CI workers.

I'm reporting this with a non-RC severity to avoid disrupting the libffi
transition, because if a retry succeeds, we will be able to nudge that
transition through without uploading a new version of glib2.0 and resetting
the migration countdown. However, it's really RC (as per the release team's
RC criteria) so we should fix this after the transition has gone through.

I suspect it's just not waiting for a long enough arbitrary time.

That transition finished some time ago. So let's raise the severity.

I marked the affected test as flaky in glib 2.70.0-2, so if it sometimes
fails, it's still a bug but should not be disrupting buildd builds or
autopkgtest gating.

It seems to be succeeding in practice, but I haven't looked into whether
anything has changed that would fix it, so leaving it open.
