gh-113205: test_multiprocessing.test_terminate: Test the API works on threadpools

Threads can't be forced to terminate (without potentially corrupting too much
state), so the expected behaviour of ThreadPool.terminate is to wait for
the currently executing tasks to finish.

The entire test was skipped in GH-110848 (0e9c364).
Instead of skipping it entirely, we should ensure the API eventually succeeds:
use a shorter timeout.

For the record: on my machine, when the test is un-skipped, the task manages to
start in about 1.5% cases.
(cherry picked from commit c1db960)
