Description

Ratis build configures Surefire fork timeout to 10 minutes:

https://github.com/apache/ratis/blob/58671923e78a10d5c6a7d49a06e2d95690d5e9bb/pom.xml#L637

            <forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds>600</forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds>

Yet, sometimes Surefire fork is not killed, check runs until Github workflow is cancelled:

Error: The operation was canceled.

The problem is that:

Since 3.0.0-M4 the process checkers are disabled. (doc)

The goal of this task:

1. Enable process checkers to apply the fork timeout.
2. Downgrade to Surefire 3.0.0-M4 due to: SUREFIRE-1722 (affects M6 and newer), SUREFIRE-1815 (affects M5).
