Rather than assume such coarse delays, re-use existing logic for
probing the current filesystem resolution.  This speeds up the
testsuite significantly.  On my system, it speeds -j1 up quite a
lot -- by ~30%.  While I didn't gather many samples to produce a
statistically significant distribution, my runs seem to be fairly
consistent with the values below with deviations of <1 minute.

$ time make -j1
    Before                After
real  33m17.182s      real  23m33.557s
user  12m12.145s      user  12m12.763s
sys   1m52.308s       sys   1m52.853s

$ time make -j32
    Before                After
real  1m35.874s       real  1m4.908s
user  14m24.664s      user  15m58.663s
sys   2m9.297s        sys   2m27.393s

* configure.ac: Set test delays to am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution.
