This test occasionally shows
+WARNING: could not get result of cancel request due to timeout
which appears to be because the cancel request is sometimes unluckily
sent to the remote session between queries, and then it's ignored.
This patch tries to make that less probable in three ways:
1. Use a test query that does not involve remote estimates, so that
no EXPLAINs are sent.
2. Make sure that the remote session is ready-to-go (transaction
started, SET commands sent) before we start the timer.
3. Increase the statement_timeout to 100ms, to give the local
session enough time to plan and issue the query.
We might have to go higher than 100ms to make this adequately
stable in the buildfarm, but let's see how it goes.
Back-patch to v17 where this test was introduced.

This allows us to skip it in Cygwin, where it's reportedly flaky because
of platform bugs or something.
Backpatch to 17, where the test was introduced by commit 2466d6654f85.
