Summary: RFE: provide configurable -timeout option for tcltests

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I have certain tcltests which can hang forever when
there is bug in the code. For example, the code may be
invoking vwait command  but the watched variable never
gets updated.

It would be nice if there was a -timeout option which
can be configured to an appropriate max value and if
the tcltest doesn't finish in the specified time, it
should terminate the test. The default value of
-timeout can be -1 which means the tcltests can run
forever, like they currently do.

Hemang.
