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