When a test times out, it often leads to other failures (i.e. context cancelled). However, these are often just noise and distract from the root cause of the failures, the timeout.
This change makes it so when a timeout failure is added, it suppresses future errors from being shown in github posts and the test failure message. They are still logged in their respective failure.log files.
Epic: none
Release note: none
Fixes: #114565
