cesium-unreal: Slow testing builds on CI

Our github actions (CI jobs) complete very slowly, but only sometimes.

The build times don’t seem predictable and have too wide a range of outcomes to accept as normal.

Packaging tests example: TestPackage50 / test 30 mins 38 secs - A ‘reasonable’ time, link 1 hr 53 mins - Excessively long time, link

Units tests example: TestWindows52 / test 11 mins 19 sec - A ‘reasonable’ time, link 44 mins 28 sec - Excessively long run, link

Looking at the Actions log, it seems like the plugin artifact download finished fine, and then GitHub Actions decided to take a break and not do anything more. The machine and the service were seemingly still working, though, because they responded to the “cancel” hours later:

2023-09-18T19:11:27.3955128Z Artifact CesiumForUnreal-52-windows-v1.30.1-257-g6c159a0c was downloaded to d:\cesium-unreal\cesium-unreal\download
2023-09-18T19:11:27.3967735Z Artifact download has finished successfully
2023-09-19T01:02:02.0594284Z ##[error]The operation was canceled.

In fact, the VM is still up and working fine now (I removed the ghr:Application tag from the EC2 instance so that it wouldn’t be shut down automatically).

@csciguy8 I’ll give you the necessary access so you can dig into this yourself if you want.
