Under high load 2 types of issues arise with this test.
* filesystem calls gets queued even when the 'sync' is used which leads
  to async_hooks being called with the events of tmpdir clean or
  initial file write after clean.
  This is solved by counting all 'change' calls while making sure there
  is no dependency of StatWatcher's on one another and the expected
  changes are waited for.

* some events are getting lost with the current
  clean->write->write_and_watch strategy. Specifically I observed the
  file size going from 0 to 5 entirely skipping 3 even though the write
  call was there (this happened reliably on -j128).
  So I've changed the strategy to avoid additional write considering
  this still tests the hooks correctly.
  This may indicate some sort of bug in async_hooks though I'm not sure.

Closes: nodejs#21425
