[issue11727] Add a --timeout option to regrtest.py using the faulthandler module

[STINNER Victor]

I created a new Mercurial repository to test this issue: features/regrtest_timeout.

Let's try it with a timeout of 5 minutes on:
 - "x86 Tiger custom" to learn more about test_threadsignals timeout (1 hour) => issue #11223
 - "x86 FreeBSD 7.2 3.x" to learn more about test_multiprocessing failures (timeout of 1 hour sometimes) => issue #8428
