Tests: rework tracefile_count test to meet the tracefile count limit

Tests: rework tracefile_count test to meet the tracefile count limit

The original test simply fires a test application and checks that file
count limits are not exceeded.

The test is reworked to produce events until the total stream size
stabilizes. Then the number of files is checked against the expected
limit.

Some shellcheck warnings are fixed as part of this change.
