[LTP] [PATCH 1/2] lib: add extra calibrated runtime to slow tests

[Li Wang <liwang@redhat.com>]

This patch inspired by Cyril's work ec14f4572d ("sched:
starvation: Autocallibrate the timeout"), introduces a CPU
calibration mechanism to enhance test runtime calculations.

The new tst_callibrate function measures CPU performance,
and in combination with tst_kconfig_debug_matches which
detects enabled debug-kernel configurations, computes an
extra_runtime adjustment.

The multiply_runtime function now incorporates this adjustment
to account for debug overhead, reducing the likelihood of
timeouts while maintaining adaptability for slower systems.
