[WIK-2504] Add timeout to e2e CI wait loop

[tosfos]

Ticket: WIK-2504

Summary

The unbounded wait loop described in the ticket:

while ! docker compose logs web --tail 10 | grep -q '>>>>> run-maintenance-script.sh <<<<<'; do sleep 1; done

no longer exists verbatim on master: it was already refactored into .github/scripts/wait-for-wiki-init.sh (commit d2aa7af), which implements exactly the deadline-based bounded wait the ticket asks for — a wall-clock deadline, a log-follower liveness check, and fail-fast detection of fatal bootstrap errors. It is used by both the test and deploy-e2e jobs in .github/workflows/docker-image.yml.

However, its default timeout was still 600s (10 minutes), while the ticket asks for ~5 minutes. This PR changes the default:

-MAX_WAIT_SECONDS="${MAX_WAIT_SECONDS:-600}"
+MAX_WAIT_SECONDS="${MAX_WAIT_SECONDS:-300}"

The MAX_WAIT_SECONDS environment variable override is preserved, so callers can still tune or extend the wait without code changes.

Rationale

On init hangs, CI previously burned up to 10 minutes before failing; the ticket specifies ~5 minutes as a sensible bound. The script also prints the last 40 lines of streamed web logs on timeout, so failure diagnostics remain available well before any job-level GitHub Actions timeout would kill the run.

Test plan

• bash -n .github/scripts/wait-for-wiki-init.sh passes
• YAML parse check on .github/workflows/docker-image.yml (python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open(...))") passes
• Standalone sanity test of the same deadline logic: exits after the configured budget when the marker never appears (~3s with a 3s budget) and detects the marker promptly when it appears mid-wait — bounded, not endless
• Full e2e suite green on this PR's CI run (not run locally)

No other behavior is changed; unrelated code and the separate container-health wait loops are intentionally left untouched.

Review follow-up: deploy-e2e now explicitly sets MAX_WAIT_SECONDS=600 to preserve its init margin; the test job keeps the new 300s fail-fast default.
