test: measure the timeOrigin anchor as a min-of-N offset with a loose bound

Reconstructing Date.now() from timeOrigin + performance.now() races
three clock reads in one expression; a ~20ms scheduler or GC stall
between them on a contended CI host blew the previous 10ms budget
(observed as tightly clustered first-attempt failures that pass on
rerun). A stall does not repeat across every sample, so the minimum
offset over ten samples filters it out, while a genuine anchoring or
unit error persists through all of them — 250ms still catches those.
Applies to the main-isolate spec and the worker's inner sample alike.
