Merge remote-tracking branch 'tor-github/pr/331' into maint-0.2.9

changes/bug27073

+  o Minor bugfixes (testing):
+    - Revise the "conditionvar_timeout" test so that it succeeds even
+      on heavily loaded systems where the test threads are not scheduled
+      within 200 msec. Fixes bug 27073; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
