misc: add duration for long soak tests
Make it so that test runners can schedule long soak stress test programs for an exact number of seconds by setting the SOAK_DURATION config variable. Change the definition of the 'soak' test to specify that these tests can be controlled via SOAK_DURATION. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
