bisect.pl can now optionally timeout the user's test case.

This permits bisection to locate the cause (or cure) of bugs which cause
programs to hang. When using a timeout, bisect-runner.pl defaults to
running the test case in its own process group, and tries hard to ensure
that all processes in that process group are killed if the timeout fires.
