Testsuite: Ensure interrupt-daemon-attach doesn't run forever
Looking at the AArch64 buildbot, I noticed about two dozen old instances of interrupt-daemon-attach taking up a full 100% cpu each. If the test fails then the test binary relies on an alarm to ensure it dies after 60 seconds. As per the Linux man page for alarm: Alarms created by alarm() ... are not inherited by children created via fork. Update the test to add an alarm in the child and also put a sleep in the child loop so it does not constantly consume cpu. Note I haven't managed to re-create why the test failed. This fix will just stop it hanging and consuming cpu when it does. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/interrupt-daemon-attach.c (main): Add alarm and sleep in child.
