IMHO we don't want any of the tests doing multi-second timeouts by
default. IOW, rather than VIR_TEST_FAST, we should have a
VIR_TEST_ALLOW_SLEEP=1, and ensure that libvirt.spec.in sets that
when doing 'make check' and also make sure that autobuild.sh sets
it. So all automated builds fully exercise the tests, but day to
day usage isn't delayed
