test: stabilize test-run-tests.t output

We have reached a point where the duration in JSON reports of
`test-run-tests.t` were greater or equal than 10 seconds, which doesn't match
anymore the regex. For example here:
https://ci.octobus.net/blue/organizations/jenkins/MercurialPy2/detail/MercurialPy2/276/pipeline

```
           "diff": "", ? (re)
-          "end": "\s*[\d\.]{4,5}", ? (re)
+          "end": "10.040",
           "result": "skip", ? (re)
```

Instead of accepting more characters, I changed the regex to accept any number
of digits before the `.` then 3 or 4 digits after. This way the regex is more
precise (only one `.` is authorized and we can ensure that the precision
doesn't change).

Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to
existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or
implement hooks.

To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
like this::

  [extensions]
  foo =

You may also specify the full path to an extension::

  [extensions]
  myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py

See :hg:`help config` for more information on configuration files.

Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons:
they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced
usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such
as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready
for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock
Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as
needed.

To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
broader scope, prepend its path with !::

  [extensions]
  # disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
  bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
  # ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
  baz = !
