Increase timeout waiting for pruned blk00000.dat

In my ever-growing list of test failures, I was seeing this one intermittently.

```
Running 2nd level testscript pruning.py...
Initializing test directory /tmp/testY5ypCv
Warning! This test requires 4GB of disk space and takes over 30 mins (up to 2 hours)

```

After digging into the test, I found that the code is waiting 10 seconds for blk00000.dat to be deleted, and then throwing this failure if it still exists after 10 seconds.

I increased this amount, had the script print the actual time taken, and ran the test a few more times. The time taken ranged between 8 to 12 seconds. So, I feel that this timeout is too short.

After changing the timeout to 30 seconds, the test passes consistently.
