I think those are all mostly-unrelated.  icarus has never yet been
stable enough to complete a BF run, and morepork and schnauzer's
wait_timeout parameters were set to 7200 (2 hours) which the test run
had organically grown to exceed.  Maybe test_plan_advice helped push
them over the edge, but they were going to need a larger setting
sometime soon anyway.  (And I see Mikael's fixed that.)

Please note that I was citing the runtime of a much slower machine
(longfin is a 2018 mac mini).  But in any case, what I was griping
about was the additional cost added to a buildfarm run; I don't see
that test_plan_advice is a lot slower than the main regression tests.
It's just that those are already a significant investment, and we
just iterated them another time.
