Patch to increase the wait time to 20s

Running the test login-timeout.sh on my machine sometimes fails and
sometimes passes. There seems to be some variance in how long it takes
sshd to disconnect a client after it has timed out, and as a result the
second client sometimes attempts to connect before the first client has
been disconnected, which fails. Changing the wait time between the
first and second connections from 15 to 20 seconds makes the test pass
consistently. I've attached a patch making this change, but there may
be an underlying issue in sshd that needs to be fixed instead. I'm
happy to provide logs/system information/etc if that would be helpful.
