tests/tso: stabilize TestLegacyTSOConsistencySuite startup path

[okJiang]

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: ref #10332

TestLegacyTSOConsistencySuite is flaky in CI due to timeout while setting up the suite.

Root-cause evidence chain:

• Issue CI job: https://prow.tidb.net/view/gs/prow-tidb-logs/pr-logs/pull/tikv_pd/10285/pull-unit-test-next-gen-3/2031629854834692096
• Build log stack shows the timeout occurs in suite setup, not assertion phase:
  • tests/integrations/tso/consistency_test.go:82 (RunInitialServers)
  • tests/cluster.go:663 (RunServers waiting)
  • tests/cluster.go:652 (RunServer.func1 blocked send)
• The flaky path is triggered by TestFallbackTSOConsistency explicitly tearing down and re-creating the full PD cluster inside one test, which re-enters the known fragile startup path under CI load.

What is changed and how does it work?

Historical analog:

• test: fix flaky test TestForwardTestSuite in next-gen #10203 (test: fix flaky test TestForwardTestSuite in next-gen)
• Relevance: both failures involve instability around RunInitialServers startup/retry path under CI contention; fix strategy is to avoid unnecessary entry into that path for test stabilization.

Fix strategy (minimal):

• In TestFallbackTSOConsistency, remove in-test TearDownSuite() + SetupSuite() cluster restart.
• Keep failpoint injection (fallBackSync, fallBackUpdate) on the already-initialized suite and always disable via defer.

Risk:

• Low. The test still exercises fallback behavior and monotonicity checks, but avoids redundant cluster lifecycle churn.

This PR does not address the root cause. I will close it.
