test: deflake init1.go test, tighten its bounds

Per the comment at top, this test is about whether the GC runs during
init, but it was testing more than that, and testing how much the GC
collected in a certain amount of time.

Instead, loosen this test to just see whether it ran at all and not
how well it did.

Fixes #9848
