chore: fix intermittent E2E test fail in '1-040_validate_quoted_RBAC_group_names_test'

[jgwest]

What type of PR is this?
/kind bug

What does this PR do / why we need it:

• Simple fix to 1-040 to handle intermittent test failure
• Increases timeout to 1-027 which intermittently failed as well
• Add debug hooks to additional tests which were failing, so we can detect why when they fail again.

This is what the failing test looks like:
