[PATCH] * config/unix.exp: add ability to set test timeout from site.exp.

From: Brooks Moses <[email protected]>

Hi Ben,

Here is the squashed commit, the change to respect a test_timeout
setting and the docs for it.

If you prefer to keep the two patches separate, then you can find the
first one (with just the test_timeout change, without the docs) here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dejagnu/2015-11/msg00002.html

Cheers!
Filipe

Here's a ChangeLog snippet for the squashed commit:

    * config/unix.exp: add ability to set test timeout from site.exp.
    * doc/user.xml: document new test_timeout variable of site.exp.
    * doc/dejagnu.texi: Regenerate.
