Make OpenSSL::OSSL#test_memcmp_timing robust
The test was too fragile. Actually, it fails on one of our CIs
immediately after it was merged to ruby/ruby.

* Two measurements, a-b and a-c, must be interative instead of
sequential; the execution time will be easily affected by disturbance
(say, cron job or some external process invoked during measurement)
* The comparison of the two results must be relative instead of
absolute; slow machine may take several tens of seconds for each
execution, and one delta second is too small. The test cases of a, b,
and c are very extreme, so if the target method has a bug, the two
execution times would be very different. So I think it is enough to
check if the difference is less than 10 times.
This change is the same as https://github.com/ruby/openssl/pull/332
