What
Add continue-on-error flag to test configuration, allowing individual image test failures to be non-blocking. Restructure additional-tests under a tests object in images.json and update workflow to reference matrix.image properties. Enable continue-on-error for nightly and nightly-next builds while keeping it disabled for stable releases. Change the timeouts for tests.
Why
Nightly builds use bleeding-edge dependencies that may fail unpredictably, but these failures should not block the entire CI pipeline. Stable releases require strict test passing to ensure production readiness.
The timeouts were all over the place and not representative of how much time we actually expect the tests to pass. Some were super high because we use to run the tests for pubnet, but don't anymore. Setting the timeouts smaller but as a multiplier of run number in case we see failures and want to try rerunning to see if it just needed a little more time. Timeouts are now defined in the action which makes managing the configuration and visually identifying a timeout much easier in the GitHub UI.
