[utils] Add utility to wait for a designated amount of time #10202
Description
It's fairly common in many of our projects to have some kind of helper that looks like this:
async function waitFor(duration: number): Promise<void> {
return new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, duration));
}See:

We should add that here too.
