Potentially addresses #182150.

From #182150 (comment):

From looking at the newly non-quiet failures, the issue is that the "Canvas.saveLayer emits tracing" test in tracing_tests.dart is timing out after 30 seconds.

Looking at a sample of this test when it passes (from https://logs.chromium.org/logs/flutter/buildbucket/cr-buildbucket/8690171468694972273/+/u/test:_test:_Host_Tests_for_host_debug_unopt/stdout), it took 20, 19, 29, 25, 21, and 23 seconds for 6 different variations (multithreading enabled/disabled, skia/vulkan/opengles backends). So it definitely could be running up against the default 30 second test timeout if a run happens to take a little bit slower.

We can try increasing the timeout for this test.

Code Review

This pull request increases the timeout for the "Canvas.saveLayer emits tracing" test in tracing_test.dart to 60 seconds. This is likely to address test flakiness due to timeouts. My feedback suggests an alternative way to specify the timeout that more clearly expresses the intent of doubling the default timeout, which improves readability and maintainability.
