Ensure caches are synchronized in reconciler tests

Caches are started asynchronously, and we should wait for them to be
synchronized before proceeding with the test logic. In real execution,
controller-runtime takes care of this for us, but in tests which only
use the reconciler, we need to do it ourselves.
