Description

Happened few times for me, in CI as well as locally:

```
io.grpc.testing.integration.NettyFlowControlTest > verySmallWindowMakesProgress FAILED
java.lang.AssertionError: Window was 655492 expecting 314570
at org.junit.Assert.fail(Assert.java:88)
at org.junit.Assert.assertTrue(Assert.java:41)
at io.grpc.testing.integration.NettyFlowControlTest.doTest(NettyFlowControlTest.java:171)
at io.grpc.testing.integration.NettyFlowControlTest.verySmallWindowMakesProgress(NettyFlowControlTest.java:141)
```

Research direction

Start with NettyFlowControlTest.verySmallWindowMakesProgress at line 141 and the failing assertion in doTest at line 171, then run the test repeatedly in CI and locally to observe the intermittent window value. Done means the test no longer flakes while still verifying progress for a very small flow-control window.
