Description

As an instrument scientist, I would like my config to load more quickly again so that I don't have to wait a long time to change/update my config.

The main cause of this is probably the removal of the change (in line 46 of inst_servers/BlockServer/epics/procserv_utils.py):
`ChannelAccess.caput(self.procserv_prefix + ioc + ":STOP", 1)` to `ChannelAccess.caput(self.procserv_prefix + ioc + ":STOP", 1, wait=True)`

Fix this and write some system/squish tests to make sure that actual IOCs are started, stopped and restarted when configurations are changed.
