Discussion in #56968 seems to suggest we have agreement to get cmd/dist out of the practice of maintaining a hardcoded timeout scale for a few architectures. Instead, dist users can set it for their own machine (if at all needed) and we can factor out this configuration into x/build/dashboard for builders.

That is, we should remove these lines from cmd/dist:

switch goarch {
case "arm":
	t.timeoutScale = 2
case "mips", "mipsle", "mips64", "mips64le":
	t.timeoutScale = 4
}

And adjust x/build as needed to avoid breaking any builders that might rely on that.

Breaking this off into this issue for tracking purposes.

These values come from cmd/dist doing it by default based on GOARCH.
We want to factor out that logic from cmd/dist, so apply it explicitly
in x/build to appropriate builders. CL 455518 removes it from cmd/dist.

The appropriate builders were found by iterating over all builders in
this package and filtering on their GOARCH value.

For golang/go#56968.
For golang/go#57117.
