Add a timeout of 10 minutes for test jobs. Right now jobs have the default timeout, which is 360 minutes. Recently, a Node.js test job ran for 2h 20m 13s. See https://github.com/appsignal/test-setups/actions/runs/18198404643/job/51810713493 Most test jobs finish within 2-3 minutes, the longest being PHP tests, running for 4 minutes.

Jobs on Github actions don't have access to the `env` context, only steps do. To avoid defining `timeout-minutes` for each step, use a yml achor and alias. Anchors and aliases are supported starting from September 2025. See https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-18-actions-yaml-anchors-and-non-public-workflow-templates/
