Fix Savannah bug #20452.

Add a new feature to the test suite suggested by Icarus Sparry:
set a timer before invoking a test, so that if it loops infinitely we
will wake up and have a chance to kill the process and continue.

+	install a SIGALRM handler and set up a timer to go off in the

+	(run_make_test): Pass any timeout override to run_make_with_options.
