base-files: sysupgrade: Add 2 sec sleep into process KILL loop

Add 2 seconds sleep after each forcibly killed/tried-to-kill process
in the final process termination loop in sysupgrade stage2.

This is needed especially for qualcommax/ipq807x, where ath11k
wireless driver may have a long 10-20 seconds delay after termination
before actually getting killed. This often breaks sysupgrade.

The current KILL loop in kill_remaining does all 10 kill attempts
consecutively without any delay, as evidenced here in a failing sysupgrade.
It does not allow any time for the process to finalize its internal
termination.

sysupgrade aborted with return code: 256

The change in this commit adds a 2 seconds delay after each kill attempt
in order to allow some processes to more gracefully handle their
internal termination.

The result is like this:

The delay introduced here only kicks in if there is some process that
does not get terminated by the first TERM call. Then there is at least
one 2 sec wait after the first KILL loop round.
