workflows: add timeouts, address linter issues #81

Last night, a mingw-w64-openssl (aarch64) job timed out after 6h, which cost quite a bit of Azure resources.

The reason was most likely that finicky MSYS2 runtime which hangs on Windows/ARM64 quite often.

Let's add timeouts to workflows' steps to avoid incurring these Azure costs.
