#63272: fix IsLikelyNotMountPoint func on Windows

The math/big functions are slow on arm64. There is improvement coming
with go1.11 but in the mean time if a server uses rsa certificates on
arm64, the math load for the multitude of watches over taxes the ability
of the processor and the TLS connections time out. Retries will also not
succeed and serve to exacerbate the problem.

By extending the timeout, the TLS connections will eventually be
successful and the load will drop.

Fixes #64649
