fix(test): fix timing flakes in ChronometerTest and ThroughputControlTestCase

ChronometerTest:
- Add @BeforeAll warmUp() (5 × sleep(20) iterations) to prime JVM timer
  threads before the actual assertions run
- Increase TOLERANCE 200ms → 1000ms to absorb OS scheduler jitter when
  running the full suite under load; still reliably catches real bugs
  (elapsed returning 0, wrong units, negative values, etc.)

ThroughputControlTestCase.testFifty:
- Widen upper bound 4500ms → 6000ms; 10 tps × 50 tx guarantees exactly
  4000ms minimum but the 500ms ceiling was too tight on a loaded machine
  (failed at 4586ms)
