Currently if a Wait fails a TimeoutException is thrown with no message:

TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | test_homescreen_edit_mode.py test_homescreen_edit_mode.TestEditMode.test_access_and_leave_edit_mode | TimeoutException: None

We should at least include the timeout duration:

TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | test_homescreen_edit_mode.py test_homescreen_edit_mode.TestEditMode.test_access_and_leave_edit_mode | TimeoutException: Timed out after 0.1 seconds

This can be a useful indication when looking at failures that an inappropriate timeout value is being used.

I pressed my luck a bit too much on this. Backed out from b2g26 for test failures that I've already gone too far down the rabbit hole trying to fix.
