test: fix flaky timing and timeout guards (#969)

Clears the timeout guards once each race settles, measures the 15,000-vehicle transit ingestion with main-thread CPU time instead of wall time, and times the region-timeout case from the boundary lookup with a 2 s ceiling, below the 3 s default budget, so an ignored budget still fails.
