Subject: [PATCH] ci: allow more time for gen & fmt jobs to be acquired
 (#20577)

Closes https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/1081

The time taken for a runner to acquire a job counts towards the job-wide `timeout-minutes`. Recently we've been seeing outages in the runner infrastructure lead to a ~5-6m runner start time, causing fmt & gen jobs to be cancelled due to their 7 or 8 minute timeouts.

This PR extends the job-wide timeout on fmt & gen to 20 minutes, but adds the original 7 and 8 minute timeouts to the `make [fmt|gen]` portion of the job -- the part of the job we have the most control over, and that we want to be made aware of timeouts for.
