gh-130737: Fix multiprocessing test_notify() (#130797)

Replace hardcoded delay (100 ms) with a loop awaiting until a
condition is true: replace assertReturnsIfImplemented() with
assertReachesEventually().

Use sleeping_retry() in assertReachesEventually() to tolerate slow
buildbots and raise an exception on timeout (30 seconds).
