fix: increase test timeout for heavy recursion tests in debug build#22427
Conversation
HonkRecursionConstraintTest and ChonkRecursionConstraintTest routinely take 400-600s in debug builds, hitting the 600s default timeout. Bump to 900s. Also add ChonkRecursionConstraintTest to the CPUS=4:MEM=8g resource group. This is a direct cherry-pick of the fix from PR #22347 (already on merge-train/barretenberg) to unblock the nightly debug build which has been failing for 6+ consecutive days.

## Summary Instead of bumping timeouts for slow tests in debug mode, skip them entirely. `HonkRecursionConstraintTest` and `ChonkRecursionConstraintTest` take 400-600s in debug builds, hitting the 600s default timeout. These are heavy recursion constraint tests that build full recursive circuits — the same code paths are already exercised (with debug assertions) by faster tests in the suite. This replaces the timeout-bump approach from PR #22347 with Adam's suggestion to be selective about what runs in debug mode. Supersedes #22427 ClaudeBox log: https://claudebox.work/s/c3fd56d2f55c879c?run=2

Summary
Fixes nightly barretenberg debug build which has been failing for 6+ consecutive days due to test timeouts.
