More robust CScheduler unit test
On a busy or slow system, the CScheduler unit test could fail because it
assumed all threads would be done after a couple of milliseconds.

Replace the hard-coded sleep with CScheduler stop() method that
will cleanly exit the servicing threads when all tasks are completely
finished.
