I see, this wasn't clear before.  I understood that the bots would already
kill individual tests that hanged, and not fail the entire test suite.

How bad would it be to just use psutil?  We could integrate it with the
build so that it builds psutil when you build lldb, and deploys it to the
same place that lldb's python module goes so that it's automatically in the
PYTHONPATH.

Eventually we're going to need this on other platforms too, and it benefits
everyone if we can share code instead of implementing things differently on
each platform.
