[Smoke Tests] Tweaks to reduce total test time.

[JoshLind]

Description

This PR offers a few small tweaks to the smoke tests to try and reduce runtime.

Testing Plan

Existing test infrastructure.

---

Note

Low Risk
Only adjusts test parameters and disables a handful of redundant tests; no production code paths are changed, with the main risk being reduced CI coverage.

Overview
Reduces smoke test runtime by shortening several test loops and epoch waits, including fewer on-chain config toggle iterations, fewer validator restart rounds, and smaller validator swarms in the DKG join/leave test.

Marks multiple redundant or no-longer-relevant smoke tests as #[ignore] (e.g., “no epoch changes” subsets and “no compression” variants now that compression is default), and temporarily ignores the execution pool window-size config test until deployment.
