 testsuite: Rip out hack for #12554

 @Phyx is working on correctly fixing (pun intended) the underlying issue
 that prompted this hack. It turns out that `timeout` it the culprit.
 Moreover, this hack breaks on msys python builds, which don't export
 `WindowsError`.

 Test Plan: Validate on Windows with `msys` python.
