Two history end2end tests are failing because sqlite is not flushing to disk in
time to be read by the test process. My understanding is that sqlite should
take an exclusive lock while writing, so it is difficult to understand why this
is happening. This can be fixed by adding a delay, but that seems flaky.
I'm fixing it by checking qute://history instead of reading the database file.
