makepkg: avoid reporting bogus install size on btrfs

delayed allocation hoses us here and causes erroenous install sizes to
be reported. Add a short sleep to allow the transaction to be committed
to the filesystem and the stat buffers to be updated.

This is apparently a "feature", as per to some of the denizens of #btrfs
on freenode.
