[lldb-dev] Moving test runner timeout logic into Python

[Zachary Turner via lldb-dev]

Can you offer a hint about how you plan to implement this?  When you say it
we should get the same behavior everywhere, I assume this means Windows
too, which currently does not support running with a timeout at all
(because timeout / gtimeout aren't present)
