Some upstream changes broke the automatic fallback to SwiftShader.
Without this workaround the GPU initialization fails (apparently due to requiring Vulkan):

This workaround restores the previous result:

The workaround is only required for Chromium, not Google Chrome.
Some specialisations (such as those which affect various boot-time
attributes) cannot be switched to at runtime. This allows picking the
specialisation at boot time.
Massively reduce the time it takes running the test by building a
proper root disk image and increasing the virtualized core count to
4. This should make it much easier for the tests to pass even on
weaker systems.
With my laptop (AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U) as the reference system, I see
the following test run times:
- No change:
Times out after 28 mins
- Building a root image:
7 mins, 48 secs
- Building a root image and bumping the core count:
7 mins, 17 secs
The times include the time it takes to build the image
(~1 min, 20 secs).
