fix(test): make fake timers work with testing-library/react (#25915)

## Summary

Fixes #25869

Two fixes to enable `jest.useFakeTimers()` to work with
`@testing-library/react` and `@testing-library/user-event`:

- Set `setTimeout.clock = true` when fake timers are enabled.
testing-library/react's `jestFakeTimersAreEnabled()` checks for this
property to determine if `jest.advanceTimersByTime()` should be called
when draining the microtask queue. Without this, testing-library never
advances timers.

- Make `advanceTimersByTime(0)` fire `setTimeout(fn, 0)` timers.
`setTimeout(fn, 0)` is internally scheduled with a 1ms delay per HTML
spec. Jest/testing-library expect `advanceTimersByTime(0)` to fire such
"immediate" timers, but we were advancing by 0ms so they never fired.

## Test plan

- [x] All 30 existing fake timer tests pass
- [x] New regression test validates both fixes
- [x] Original user-event reproduction now works (test completes instead
of hanging)
