test: deflake chan/select3.go

Browse Source 
On a slow or distracted machine, 0.1s is sometimes
not long enough for a non-blocking function call to complete.
This causes rare test flakes.
They can be easily reproduced by reducing the wait time to (say) 100ns.

For non-blocking functions, increase the window from 100ms to 10s.
Using different windows for block and non-blocking functions,
allows us to reduce the time for blocking functions.
The risk here is false negatives, but that risk is low;
this test is run repeatedly on many fast machines,
for which 10ms is ample time.
This reduces the time required to run the test by a factor of 10,
from ~1s to ~100ms.

Fixes #20299
