The problem is not the full test timeout. It's intermediate timeouts: every
time you use QTRY_VERIFY, QTRY_COMPARE, QElapsedTimer, QDeadlineTimer,
QTestEventLoop::timeout, etc., your test is now "flaky" because what you
measured to take a few microseconds can now take up to a second to run.
I've already decided I won't fix such issues. The CI needs to be brought up to
normal performance instead. That means we need to blacklist those tests for a
while. I'm simply asking how to hide those BPASS.
