Stefan Hajnoczi 70556264a8 libqos: use microseconds instead of iterations for virtio timeout
Some hosts are slow or overloaded so test execution takes a long time.
Test cases use timeouts to protect against an infinite loop stalling the
test forever (especially important in automated test setups).

Commit 6cd14054b6 ("libqos virtio:
Increase ISR timeout") increased the clock_step() value in an attempt to
lengthen the virtio interrupt wait timeout, but timeout failures are
still occuring on the Travis automated testing platform.

This is because clock_step() only affects the guest's virtual time.
Virtio requests can be bottlenecked on host disk I/O latency - which
cannot be improved by stepping the clock, so the fix was ineffective.

This patch changes the qvirtio_wait_queue_isr() and
qvirtio_wait_config_isr() timeout mechanism from loop iterations to
microseconds.  This way the test case can specify an absolute 30 second
timeout.  Number of loop iterations is not a reliable timeout mechanism
since the speed depends on many factors including host performance.

Tests should no longer timeout on overloaded Travis instances.
