gh-110393: Remove watchdog with hardcoded timeout (GH-110400)

test_builtin and test_socketserver no longer use signal.alarm() to
implement a watchdog with a hardcoded timeout (2 and 60 seconds).
Python test runner regrtest has two watchdogs: faulthandler and
timeout on running worker processes. Tests using short hardcoded
timeout can fail on slowest buildbots just because the timeout is too
short.
(cherry picked from commit 1328fa31fe)
