The tests previously relied on the `short.py` and `FirstTest.subTestA`
script being executed on a machine within a short time window (1 or 2
seconds). While this "seems to work" it can fail on resource constrained
machines. We could bump the timeout a little bit (bumping it too
much would mean the test would take a long time to execute) but it wouldn't
really solve the problem of the test being prone to failures.
This patch tries to remove this flakeyness by separating testing into
two separate parts:
1. Testing if a test can hit a timeout.
2. Testing if a test can run to completion in the presence of a
timeout.
This way we can give (1.) a really short timeout (to make the test run
as fast as possible) and (2.) a really long timeout. This means for (2.)
we are no longer trying to rely on the "short" test executing within
some short time window. Instead the window is now 3600 seconds which
should be long enough even for a heavily resource constrained machine to
execute the "short" test.
Thanks to Julian Lettner for suggesting this approach. This superseeds
my original approach in https://reviews.llvm.org/D88807.
This patch also changes the command line override test to run the quick
test rather than the slow one to make the test run faster.

Summary:
The technique of directly calling subprocess.Popen on a python script
doesn't work on Windows. The executable path of the command must refer
to a valid win32 executable.
Instead, rename all the python scripts masquerading as gtest executables
to have .py extensions, so we can easily detect then and call the python
executable for them. Do this on Linux as well as Windows for
consistency.
The test suite directory names also come out in lower-case on Windows.
We can consider removing that in a later patch. This change just updates
the FileCheck lines to match on Windows.

This should work with ShTest (executed externally or internally) and GTest
test formats.
To set the timeout a new option ``--timeout=`` has
been added which specifies the maximum run time of an individual test
in seconds. By default this 0 which causes no timeout to be enforced.
The timeout can also be set from a lit configuration file by modifying
the ``lit_config.maxIndividualTestTime`` property.
To implement a timeout we now require the psutil Python module if a
timeout is requested. This dependency is confined to the newly added
``lit.util.killProcessAndChildren()``. A note has been added into the
TODO document describing how we can remove the dependency on the
``pustil`` module in the future. It would be nice to remove this
immediately but that is a lot more work and Daniel Dunbar believes it is
better that we get a working implementation first and then improve it.
To avoid breaking the existing behaviour the psutil module will not be
imported if no timeout is requested.
The included testcases are derived from test cases provided by
Jonathan Roelofs which were in an previous attempt to add a per test
timeout to lit (http://reviews.llvm.org/D6584). Thanks Jonathan!
