test-skeleton: increase default TIMEOUT to 20 seconds
The vast majority of timeouts I've seen w/glibc tests are due to: - slow system (e.g. <1 GHz cpu) - loaded system (e.g. lots of parallelism) Even then, I've seen timeouts on system I don't generally consider slow, or even loaded, and considering TIMEOUT is set to <=10 in ~60 tests (and <=20 in ~75 tests), it seems I'm not alone. I've just gotten in the habit of doing `export TIMEOUTFACTOR=10` on all my setups. In the edge case where there is a bug in the test and the timeout is hit, I think we all agree that's either a problem with the test or a real bug in the library somewhere. In either case, the incident rate should be low, so catering to that seems like the wrong trade-off. Other developers too usually set large timeout factors. Increase the default to 20 seconds to match reality.
