Log Message:
-----------
Increase the statement_timeout value used in the prepared_xacts regression
test. We have seen some buildfarm failures that seem to be due to this
limit being unexpectedly exceeded when the machine is under load.

Increase the statement_timeout value used in the prepared_xacts
regression test. We have seen some buildfarm failures that seem
to be due to this limit being unexpectedly exceeded when the machine
is under load.

Just as a data point, I thought I saw fennec in the list of machines
exhibiting this problem, and I can safely vouch that it extremely unlikely
the machine was under load at the time.

Yeah, I'm not totally sold that this is a "fix" either --- although
there's at least one prior case of an intermittent buildfarm failure
that went away when we increased the timeout sufficiently.

I think a 2-line change is an appropriate amount of effort for now.
If we keep seeing the failure then we'll know we need to look closer.
