Add exercise timing to all episodes

[Bisaloo]

Fix #519

Total time for the entire lesson is now 4h45min without the supplementary episodes and 8h15min with the supplementary episodes.

Should we reach out on the instructor channel to double check this is in line with the experience of people who have recently taught this lesson?

What does this mean?

If you have source files that require output and figures to be generated (e.g. R Markdown), then it is important to make sure the generated figures and output are reproducible.

This output provides a way for you to inspect the output in a diff-friendly manner so that it's easy to see the changes that occur due to new software versions or randomisation.

Hi @Bisaloo, I agree we should seek experiential feedback from instructors who have taught this recently. Let me know if you would like me to post in The Carpentries #instructors channel for feedback.

Yes, that would be great. Thanks!

Toby Hodges asked for feedback about this issue in #instructors a couple of weeks ago. We didn't get much explicit feedback; only a couple of positive emojis.

In all cases, I believe this PR will be a net positive compared to not having any timings. Once they are present in the lessons, potentially imprecise timings will hopefully trigger more feedback from the community.

I therefore propose we moved forward with merging this PR. Please let me know by the end of next week (December 6th) if you feel strongly against this proposal, otherwise I'll go ahead and merge this at that time.
