fix(ci): bump coverage heap budget + Windows npm timeout in runNpm helper (#3704)

Set NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=6144 on the Unit coverage step so the
c8 report phase has 6 GB instead of Node's default ~4 GB heap; the Linux
Node 24 runner has 7 GB available so this leaves 1 GB headroom. Raise the
runNpm default timeout from 55 000 ms to 180 000 ms so cold-cache Windows
npm install -g runs (which take 60-90 s on NTFS + Defender) complete before
the child process is killed.
