Xavier Morel 08b8da08df [IMP] runbot_merge: precisely filter stagings before validating them
Before this, we would "roughly" select stagings by looking at stagings
whose heads matched a specific sha then validating them all. This
could perform extra validations on stagings once in a while but this
was assumed not to be much an issue, at least originally.

However two changes later on have contributed to this likely being the
cause of #429 (stagings never timing out):

* heads of the staging branches are uniquifier commits stored in the
  heads map, but the actual heads of the stagings are also stored
  there, some of which are no-ops (hence the uniquifiers) so assuming
  repos A and B, if a staging contains PRs touching A then the head of
  B actual will also be a head of B
* when a staging is validated, if it *contains* any pending result the
  timeout limit gets bumped back

The issue here is that if a success / failure status is lost (which
would be the most common reason for timeouts) *and* someone has forked
and is regularly rebuilding a branch-head used as-is by a staging,
each of those rebuilds will trigger a validation of the staging, which
will find that one of the statuses is still pending (because we missed
the success / failure), which will bump up the timeout limit,
continuing until the branch stops getting rebuilt.

This is probably one of the reasons why some stagings last for *way*
more than 2h, though it is far from explaining all of them: 90% of the
stagings lasting more than *3*h end up succeeding. Tho it's always
possible that this is because someone notices and resends a success
for the missing status it seems somewhat doubtful. Oh well.

Also fix the incorrect log call on `update_timeout_limit` triggering.
