forcibly check the timing of the regex/alarm test in bulk #18149

Conversation

As per github #18129, github test VMs occasionally fail this alarm test.

This commit implements a loop that forces those systems to always fail the test.

On cygwin running directly on iron this doesn't fail even after 1000 iterations.

However in order to make github smokes a little more useful for now, this also marks it TODO.

Thank you for producing this PR. Making it a TODO is a good idea, in my opinion.

I'm 👍'ing this if @lightsey approves it.

The "increased the multipliers" message doesn't seem true, maybe it's vestigial from a previous iteration?

Other than that, LGTM.

Thanks, and yeah, the grammar was wrong, it should say "increase" and refers to the 1000s in the regex. :)
