  - Default tests to using a longer timelimit
    
    Every now and then a test will fail in Travis CI on Python 3.5 because it hit the default 20ms SQL time limit.
    
    Test fixtures now default to a 200ms time limit, and we only use the 20ms time limit for the specific test that tests query interruption.

    This should make our tests on Python 3.5 in Travis much more stable.
