Fix flaky testReadCompactedWithNullValue by waiting for compaction

The test was triggering compaction but reading immediately without
waiting for it to complete. Since compaction is asynchronous, the
reader might read uncompacted data. Added polling of the compaction
status endpoint to wait until compaction completes before reading.
