Bug 205298 – Re-tune JSC tests timeout value now that we can timeout based on CPU time.

(1) investigate removing s_timeoutMultiplier.  It was only needed to pad the timeout value for some tests.
(2) investigate unskipping tests that were previously flaky due to timeouts.

After playing with the timeout values for the JSC tests a bit, I came to the following conclusion:

We should keep this option because it allows us to grant more time to certain tests that are intrinsically long running, without having to lengthen the timeout value for all tests.

I also think we should not change the current timeout values.  Our tests are already tuned for these timeout values.  Shortening the timeout values will only cause more churn to add --timeoutMultipliers to the new tests that will start timing out.  I don't think there's much value in that given the current timeout value isn't prohibitively long.

Still need to investigate this.
