Large OVN NB/SB databases can delay probe responses during initial sync. The 10s interval is not sufficient and can lead to repeated client reconnects and failures. Bump it to 20s to improve startup stability.

(cherry picked from commit 961f551)

This may stablize sbdb container while sbdb is under
heavy load and not able to respond for ovsdb-server/sync-status
