[Bug] TimeSkipping test server hangs when testing Update

[mnichols]

What are you really trying to do?

I was trying to test WorkflowUpdate in my own code and was using StartTimeSkippingAsync . My test was hanging each time even though the samples in this repo were succeeding. I changed the WorkflowUpdate sample in this repo to use StartTimeSkippingAsync instead of StartLocalAsync and got the same behavior.

Here is logging output after test times out:

A total of 1 test files matched the specified pattern.
