Asked the wait abort test for three windows, and failed a run that reached none (#649)

Four CI runs of the same tree, twenty configuration-runs in total, show this
test's budget being reached far more often than the first green run suggested,
and a pass being reported every time it was:

    trace_build            3 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
    disable_notify         3 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
    default_coverage       4 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
    stack_checking         7 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
    trace_build            0 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
    disable_notify         7 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
    stack_checking         3 of 10 windows in 121 seconds

Seven of twenty, and the shortfall message only ever reaches an artifact:
ctest is run with --output-on-failure, so a passing test's output is not in the
job log at all. The suite has been quietly losing most of this test's coverage
in whole configurations and reporting green.

The loop runs in two modes, not one. A window arrives in milliseconds in the
fast mode, and costs between 17 and 40 seconds in the slow one, with nothing in
between across those twenty runs. Ten windows are therefore unreachable inside
any budget worth having: at 40 seconds each that is 400 seconds, and the
unbounded runs measured before any of this took up to 726. Raising the budget
to cover the slow mode would trade a quiet loss of coverage for five
configurations approaching the sixty minute step timeout.

So ask for what a run can reach. Three windows cost 51 to 120 seconds in the
slow mode and under a second in the fast one, and the later hits repeat what
the first ones establish, so what is given up is small. The budget goes to 180
seconds because three windows at the worst rate measured is exactly the 120 it
was, which would have truncated at two.

The count is printed on every run rather than only on a short one. A number
that appears only on shortfall cannot be told apart from a number nobody
recorded.

Reaching the window no times at all is a different matter, and was the worst of
the seven. The check after the loop compares semaphore bookkeeping that a
window has to have touched to mean anything, so a run that reached none of them
compares a counter against the value it was initialised to and reports a pass
having verified nothing. That run now keeps trying to a 300 second ceiling, and
fails if it still has not reached the window. A genuine resonance that holds
for five minutes is worth a failure; the old behaviour was worth nothing.

The SMP copy keeps its count of twenty. It reaches them in under half a second
in all five of its configurations, in all four runs, so the slow mode has never
been observed there and the coverage is free. Both copies get the ceiling and
the unconditional report, so the logic stays identical between them.

Verified locally on all five configurations: the test reaches 3 of 3 in 5 to 14
seconds, and the full suites pass 96 of 96 and 110 of 110 run one test at a
time. With the handler's window made unreachable and the ceiling lowered to 5
seconds, the test stops after 6 seconds, prints the count it reached, and
reports ERROR #8 with the harness recording a failure rather than a pass. With
the count raised past what the budget allows, a run that reaches two windows
still passes, so falling short and reaching nothing stay distinct. The
TX_NOT_INTERRUPTABLE branch, which no configuration in either suite builds, was
compile-checked in both copies with the configurations' own compile commands.
