_PackWhileWriting: Cut the number of threads and boost the max timeout.

This makes the ZEO flavors of the tests much more likely to complete
without a "thread still alive" failure.

# How many client threads should we run, and how long should we
# wait for them to finish? Hard to say. Running 4 threads and
# waiting 30 seconds too often left a thread still alive on Tim's
# Win98SE box, during ZEO flavors of this test. Those tend to
# run one thread at a time to completion, and take about 10 seconds
# per thread. There doesn't appear to be a compelling reason to
# run that many threads. Running 3 threads and waiting up to a
# minute seems to work well in practice. The ZEO tests normally
# finish faster than that, and the non-ZEO tests very much faster
# than that.
