runtime: test that periodic GC works

We've broken periodic GC a few times without noticing because there's
no test for it, partly because you have to wait two minutes to see if
it happens. This exposes control of the periodic GC timeout to runtime
tests and adds a test that cranks it down to zero and sleeps for a bit
to make sure periodic GCs happen.
