Subject: [PATCH] fix(xcat-core): retry_install waits 20 min per provision
 attempt, not 30

wait_for_provision caps how long retry_install polls for a node to reach
'booted' after each rinstall. Measured healthy provisions in devel-cd #22 boot
well inside this window (diskless ~6-8 min, diskfull ~8-16 min), so 30 min was
mostly slack that only lengthened the give-up time on a genuinely failing node.

Drop it to 20 min: still above the ~16-min diskfull install, while shrinking each
failed attempt's cost (6 min fixed sleep + 20 poll = 26 min vs 36). Combined with
the 3->2 attempt default, a fully-failing case's retry stack drops substantially.
Trade-off noted: the margin over a slow-under-load diskfull install is now tighter.
