Testing it again, a couple of questions

1) The current test set has only 2 simple cases – I'd suggest adding one
more (that one that didn't work in v1):

gitpod=# set transaction_timeout to '20ms';
SET
gitpod=# begin; select pg_sleep(.01); select pg_sleep(.01); select
pg_sleep(.01); commit;
BEGIN
pg_sleep
----------

(1 row)

ERROR: canceling statement due to transaction timeout

gitpod=# set statement_timeout to '20ms'; set transaction_timeout to 0; --
to test value for statement_timeout and see that it doesn't fail
SET
SET
gitpod=# begin; select pg_sleep(.01); select pg_sleep(.01); select
pg_sleep(.01); commit;
BEGIN
pg_sleep
----------

(1 row)

pg_sleep
----------

(1 row)

pg_sleep
----------

(1 row)

COMMIT

2) Testing for a longer transaction (2 min), in a gitpod VM (everything is
local, no network involved)

// not sure what's happening here, maybe some overheads that are not
related to the implementation,
// but the goal was to see how precise the limiting is for longer
transactions

gitpod=# set transaction_timeout to '2min';
SET
gitpod=# begin;
BEGIN
gitpod=*# select now(), clock_timestamp(), pg_sleep(3) \watch 1
Fri 13 Jan 2023 03:49:24 PM UTC (every 1s)

now | clock_timestamp | pg_sleep
-------------------------------+-------------------------------+----------
2023-01-13 15:49:22.906924+00 | 2023-01-13 15:49:24.088728+00 |
(1 row)

– it seems we could (should) have one more successful "1s wait, 3s sleep"
iteration here, ~727ms somehow wasted in a loop, quite a lot.
