gstreamer1.0: improve test reliability

First, libcheck has the ability to increase all test timeouts by an arbitrary
multiplier. Because we run our tests on loaded build machines,
increase all timeouts by 10x to reduce the chance of load causing failures.

Second, use GST_CHECKS_IGNORE to list test cases that should be skipped.

Drop skip-aggregator-test.patch as this is now redundant, and also skip
gstnetclientclock.c:test_functioning as this is very sensitive to load.

-Subject: [PATCH] Skip aggregator test
-
-This test case is known to be flaky upstream[1] and often fails on the
-autobuilder[2], so skip it until this has been resolved upstream.
