When waiting for input in CYGACC_COMM_IF_GETC_TIMEOUT we delay 2
seconds by incrementing and checking a counter variable every 20
uSeconds. The overhead in the loop calling tstc() thousands of times
causes the timeout to be closer to 20 seconds. Delay longer per iteration
to reduce overhead and bring the timeout back closer to the correct time.

I was just informed that this may be breaking UART boot on a couple of
our platforms, so this shouldn't be taken until I can get this figured out.

Thanks,
Andrew
