[Impact]

During the recent SRU for bug 1908473, we found that librelp is FTBFS on
riscv64 on Focal, due to the test cases basic-realistic.sh and tls-
basic-realistic.sh failing during dh_auto_test during package build.

dh_auto_test --no-parallel
 make -j1 check VERBOSE=1
...
make  check-TESTS
make[4]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/tests'
...
FAIL: basic-realistic.sh
FAIL: tls-basic-realistic.sh
...

Relevant log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hwYXSbKPPV/

These tests attempt to send 50,000 messages between a server and client,
and riscv64 is just too slow to complete sending all of these messages
before the watchdog thinks the process gets stuck and kills it.

Recent runs see "00046000 msgs sent" for basic-realistic.sh and
"00029000 msgs sent" for tls-basic-realistic.sh, which misses the 50,000
mark by a long shot.

To fix, we will follow a similar pattern to an existing patch we carry
already and trim down the number of messages sent to 10,000 which should
reliably be possible on riscv64.

[Testcase]

Attempt to build librelp on on all architectures, and currently, riscv64
will fail on Focal.

If you apply the below patch to reduce messages for basic-realistic.sh
and tls-basic-realistic.sh to 10,000 the build passes on riscv64, which
you can see in the below ppa:

[Where problems could occur]

Since we are reducing the number of packets being sent in a testcase in
an attempt to not time out the build, there should be little risk in
this SRU.

The tests are still continuing to run on all architectures, and are
still at a meaningful high number of 10,000 packets, which should find
any problems during subsequent builds in the future, but not slow down
the build for riscv64.

  Hirsute is being followed up on soon.
