Summary0010541: merchant response to /private/kyc flaky due to timing issues
DescriptionImmediately after having added a bank account to a merchant backend instance the

  GET /private/kyc

request sometimes returns a 204 No content response, even when we expect a 200 Ok response.

Whether we get 204 or 200 seems to depend on the timing, the merchant temporarily claims that no KYC is required, but maybe simply wasn't able to contact the exchange yet.
Steps To ReproduceUse taler-harness to run one of the tests below. Only happens sometimes / on some machines, depending on the timing.


    {
      "name": "tops-aml-custom-addr-postal",
      "timeSec": 1.763,
      "status": "fail"
    },
    {
      "name": "tops-aml-custom-addr-sms",
      "timeSec": 1.751,
      "status": "fail"
    },
    {
      "name": "tops-aml-kyx-natural",
      "timeSec": 1.759,
      "status": "fail"
    },
    {
      "name": "tops-aml-measures",
      "timeSec": 1.766,
      "status": "fail"

e4d78aa6..f1af21e4 fixes this in the backend, alas the tests still fail like this:
""
FATAL: test failed with exception AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Expected values to be strictly deep-equal:
+ actual - expected

+ 'exchange-unreachable'
- 'kyc-wire-required'
""

Note that "exchange-unreachable" is a perfectly good answer if we didn't have time to reach the exchange yet, and should obviously be acted on by waiting + trying again.
