Patch 8.2.1735

[Bram Moolenaar]

Patch 8.2.1735
Problem: Github actions appear to timeout too soon.
Solution: use "timeout" instead of "ping".

Looks like this didn't make a difference. So why is it "cancelled by
user" after less than three minutes? Most of the action runs fail,
which means I tend to ignore them and they are hardly useful.

An easy way to determine if you have enough teamwork to be doomed is simply to
measure how long it takes from the time you decide to go to lunch together
until the time you actually eat.

I agree. Most of the time the Github action tests are failing.

So they are not useful. How do we address the test failures?

We didn't have these many frequent test failures with the Appveyor

Windows builds/tests.
