Timing unit tests: more protection against infinite loops

If timing_timer_simple fails because it detects that timers are likely
to never expire (e.g. going backward or not incrementing), skip all
tests that rely on timers.

/* Some conditions in timing_timer_simple suggest that timers are unreliable.
Most other test cases rely on timers to terminate, and could loop
indefinitely if timers are too broken. So if timing_timer_simple detected a
timer that risks not terminating (going backwards, or not reaching the
desired count in the alloted clock cycles), set this flag to immediately
fail those other tests without running any timers. */
