test_ssl does sometimes hang (at least when executed under faketime). It is
somewhat unlikely to happen, and (on my machine) required a build with
--rounds=32 to reproduce it.
The workaround is to set somewhat lower timeout of 240s (expected test
duration * 5 rounded up to whole minutes) and retry few times on failure. In
this way, --rounds=64 finished successfully (on my machine).
At the same time remove the timeout from the other tests, since it is not
necessary (they do not hang), and one of them runs for ~270s (almost half the
original timeout), so it could pose a problem on slow/overloaded machine.
* gnu/packages/bittorrent.scm
(libtorrent-rasterbar)[arguments]<#:phases>['check]: Remote test timeout for
most tests. Lower the timeout for test_ssl. Retry test_ssl on failure.
