runtime: eliminate arbitrary timeout in TestStackGrowth

Instead, allow the test to run up until nearly the test's deadline,
whatever that may be, and then crash with a panic (instead of calling
t.Errorf) to get a useful goroutine dump.

With the arbitrary timeout removed, we can now also run this test in
short mode, reducing its impact on test latency.

Fixes #19381
