gitlab: make Cirrus CI timeout explicit

On the GitLab side we're invoking the Cirrus CI job using the
cirrus-run tool which speaks to the Cirrus REST API. Cirrus
sometimes tasks 5-10 minutes to actually schedule the task,
and thus the execution time of 'cirrus-run' inside GitLab will
be slightly longer than the execution time of the Cirrus CI
task.

Setting the timeout in the GitLab CI job should thus be done
in relation to the timeout set for the Cirrus CI job. While
Cirrus CI defaults to 60 minutes, it is better to set this
explicitly, and make the relationship between the jobs
explicit
