Increase db timeout 3s -> 60s (#35517)

Browse source 
When running many concurrent spack install processes that need to write
to the db, Spack regularly times out. This is because writing to the DB
after another process has written to it requires deserialization of the
db, mutating it in memory, and serializing it again, which takes some
time. On top of that, I believe there's a 1 second retry when a write
lock cannot be obtained, so I think this means only 3 processes can
really write to the DB at the same time before timing out.
