Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tests: Add optional use of timeout utility, if present. Each top level
        test (basic, corpus, etc...) is run with a fixed timeout of 10m.

    The goal here is to treat a hung test as a failure. The emacs test
    for sending mail is known to be problematic on the debian
    autobuilders. This is both a bandaid fix for that, and a sensible
    long term feature.
