From: Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com>

If test case was started in paused mode (-S CLI option) and then
allowed to continue via QMP, boot_sector_test could assert on
transient state with following error:

   assertion failed (qdict_get_try_str(qret, "status") == "running"): (NULL == "running")

Instead of crashing test if 'status' is not available yet, skip check
and repeat iteration again after TEST_DELAY has elapsed.
