pythongh-109566, regrtest: Add --fast-ci and --slow-ci options

* Add "make fastcitest"
* --fast-ci has a default timeout to 10 minutes, --slow-ci has a
  default ot 20 minutes.
* "make buildbottest" now uses "--slow-ci". Remove now redundant
  options.
* GitHub Actions workflow now uses "make fastcitest". Remove now
  redundant options. Just use -j0: detect the number of CPUs.
