I don't think the cache should ever be in an illegal state to be used
after being started. So Infinispan should not require tests to wait
for a "cluster to be formed", I'd rather guarantee that after a cache
is started it's usable.

If this is not possible, then any application would also need to wait
for that "cluster formed" event, and we should expose an API for that.
I'd prefer the getCache() to block for long enough.
