Add 'long-tests' build option

Add a new meson build option for handling long-running tests that should
be excluded from CI.

Meson enforces a timeout on testcases.  If the testcase runs longer than
the timeout value, the testcase is considered failed.

The timeout value can be increased, but sometimes this is still
insufficient.  Testcases are run multiple times in CI, including within
environments like valgrind that increase their run times.

Very long running testcases should probably be excluded from CI runs
rather than setting the timeout to an arbitrarily large value like 5
minutes.

The 'long-tests' option defaults to disabled.  Long-running tests will
only be built and run if option is explicitly set to enabled.
