gawk: reduce strictness of the time test

The time.awk test does a sleep() and verifies that the actual delay is
close to the requested time. However on a loaded system the range of
acceptable durations is quite tight and will occasionally fail.

Solve this by increasing the range of acceptable delays slightly to
between 50% and 200% of the requested delay.

+The test time.awk does a sleep() and checks that the real sleep duration is
+close to the expected duration.
+
+As currently our tests can run on a heavily loaded system, increase the range of
