Tests in lcov instrumented code take more time than normal. This test
was pushing towards 180-190 seconds on successful runs. As a result to
remove any potential issues around tests that run close to the default
timeout of 200 seconds, 2 changes were done.

1) https://review.gluster.org/c/glusterfs/+/20648
Added an option to run-tests.sh to enable setting the default timeout to
a different value.

2) https://review.gluster.org/c/build-jobs/+/20655
Changed the line-coverage job to use the above to set the default
timeout to 300 for the test run

Since the changes this issue has not failed in lcov runs.
