[FIX] web: tests: nextTick awaits render with requestAnimationFrame

Revision on [1].

Commit above made changes to test helper `nextTick()`, so that it
waits for `window.nextAnimationFrame()` (shorten, 'rAF'). This was
useful to wait for OWL rendering, since OWL renders on next animation
frame.

From a theoretical standpoint, the helper should wait at least as
much time as before, as it adds either no slowdown (rAF is readily
available), or a few milliseconds wait (rAF waits for next available
animation frame).

However, some old tests show non-deterministic behaviours, resulting
to crashes [2]. It suggested, for some reasons, that `nextTick()` did
not wait long enough for re-render... Which is surprising considering
explanation above!

Some of these tests have been fixed, assuming it was caused by un-
guaranteed order of successive `setTimeout(0)` [3]. Unfortunately,
this does not explain why it never crashed before the change on
`nextTick()`...

After investigation, we think that this behaviour comes from rAFs
having their own task queue, which no longer guarantees that queued
tasks happen after queued micro-tasks:

When the requested next animation frame is readily available, the
callback of `requestAnimationFrame()` is immediately called and waits
for `setTimeout(0)`. The `setTimeout(0)` await is resolved before any
other queued async micro-tasks, so that `nextTick()` is resolved
sooner than expected. This would explain how `nextTick()` does not
wait long enough for rendering from the loads of resolved Promises,
even though there is a promise resolution after `setTimeout(0)`.

This commit fixes the issue by moving the await `setTimeout(0)`
before the rAF call, so that it correctly waits render from chain of
resolved promises (since the `setTimeout(0)` is awaited in the same
main task queue).
