[A-T patch] give a hint how to raise the timeout

[Stas Bekman]

The patch below attempts to give users an idea to try before they rush to 
report a bug. For example:

waiting 120 seconds for server to start: not ok
giving up after 121 secs. If you think that your system
is slow or overloaded try again with a longer timeout value.
For example:
  % APACHE_TEST_STARTUP_TIMEOUT=420 make test
or:
  % /home/stas/apache.org/mp2-cvs/Apache-Test/t/TEST -startup_timeout=420
server failed to start! (please examine t/logs/error_log)

     }

since most likely they run 'make test' I put that option first. How does that 
sound?
