ci(linux): increase bounded apt install budget for cold runners - #309

Conversation
Cold runners paid for weston's full recommended media stack (codecs, speech, bluray) that a headless Wayland launch test never uses; the recommends cut keeps the bounded install budget inside one attempt even on a slow mirror. xwayland is installed explicitly because it is recommendation-only and the compositor logs errors without it.

Took over this draft to land it: the 480s install budget already turned the Linux round trip and installer builds green; the still-failing AppImage Wayland job was a cold-runner mirror delivering weston's recommended media stack at ~100 KB/s. Added |
The GTK4 dev stack on a cold runner fetches 100+ packages including recommendations-only documentation tooling; with today's mirror throughput even the raised 480-second window loses twice. Install now defaults to three bounded, cache-resuming attempts (update stays at two), every dev-stack install drops recommended packages, and the headless weston lists carry xwayland explicitly like the AppImage job. The apt-retry self-test pins the per-operation attempt defaults and the override.

Why
Linux GTK4/UI, installer and embedded jobs repeatedly fail before tests because the Ubuntu/Azure package mirror takes over 180 seconds to fetch 100+ cold dependencies. Multiple PRs show partial ongoing downloads followed by
apt-retry: install failed after 2 attempts/ exit 124. This does not justify skipping required desktop checks.Change
apt installa bounded 480-second default per attempt to avoid terminating healthy slow downloads.RIVET_APT_TIMEOUT_SECONDSoverride, two attempts, no-interactive/lock/retry policies, and nonzero failure status.Gate
Shell test plus the full cross-platform workflow must pass before merge. This is CI stabilization, not relaxation of acceptance requirements.
