[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.

Start by locating the timeout step entry point in the workflow-basic-steps-plugin and examine how its duration currently includes jobs or stages waiting for execution. Define the expected behavior so queuing time is excluded, then verify the timeout behavior with the plugin's existing tests or an appropriate regression test.
