commit 9f8e6cad65a6 ("gitlab-ci: Speed up the msys2-64bit job by using
--without-default-devices"
changed to compile QEMU with the --without-default-devices switch for
the msys2-64bit job, due to the build could not complete within the
project timeout (1h), and also mentioned that a bigger timeout was
getting ignored on the shared Gitlab-CI Windows runners.
However as of today it seems the shared Gitlab-CI Windows runners does
honor the job timeout, and the runner has the timeout limit of 2h, so
let's increase the timeout to 90 minutes and drop the configure switch
"--without-default-devices" to get a larger build coverage.
I'd like to push back lightly against increasing the time because it
lengthens the total run time before we can merge a branch. Ideally we
could come up with a combination of build and tests that exercises all
the Windows code without exhaustively testing code paths that are tested
elsewhere. For device emulation are there any host specific things we
are testing?
