[JENKINS-52095] Timeout step should not count job/stage queuing time

We have jobs that fail because they're waiting for execution. In its current implementation, if you're even over capacity concerning build jobs (not that hard to be), the timeout step is completely useless.

Raw content of original issue

We have jobs that fail because they're waiting for execution. In its current implementation, if you're even over capacity concerning build jobs (not that hard to be), the timeout step is completely useless.

Beginne damit, den Einstiegspunkt des timeout-Schritts in workflow-basic-steps-plugin zu finden, und untersuche, wie seine Dauer derzeit Jobs oder Stages einschließt, die auf ihre Ausführung warten. Definiere das erwartete Verhalten so, dass die Wartezeit in der Queue ausgeschlossen wird, und überprüfe anschließend das Timeout-Verhalten mit den vorhandenen Tests des Plugins oder einem geeigneten Regressionstest.
