[SPARK-58026][INFRA] Bound SparkR Windows test step to avoid silent 2h job
timeout
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Split out from the flaky-test deflake work; verified in fork CI (see below).
The scheduled `build_sparkr_window` workflow (`Build / SparkR-only`,
windows-2025) intermittently hangs in the **"Run SparkR tests"** step while the
R process waits on the SparkR backend socket handshake during session
initialization. With no step-level timeout, a stalled handshake silently
consumes the full 120-minute job timeout and surfaces as a *cancellation*
rather than a fast, retryable failure — this alternates roughly every other
scheduled run.
This adds `timeout-minutes: 60` to the "Run SparkR tests" step so a stalled
handshake fails fast; successful runs finish the step well under the cap.
### Why are the changes needed?
Convert a silent 2-hour job cancel into a fast, retryable failure, and stop
the workflow from alternating red/green due to a startup hang rather than a
real regression.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No. CI-workflow-only change.
### How was this patch tested?
Fork CI (`build_sparkr_window` on the fork): ✅ **PASS** —
https://github.com/HyukjinKwon/spark/actions/runs/28906197544
Finished in ~1h20m with tests running to completion (`══ DONE ══`); the
watchdog did not fire, confirming it is non-disruptive to healthy runs.
