test(engine): give the real-ffmpeg group mix suite a 60s timeout

`mix level arithmetic` timed out at `routing isolation` on the Windows runner.
Every case there shells out to real ffmpeg at least twice — the mix under test
plus a reference mix to compare it against — and 5s is enough on Linux but not
on that host. A slow host, not a hung mix, so the suite gets a suite-level
timeout rather than a skip.
