gdb: introduce unwind-on-timeout setting
Now that inferior function calls can timeout (see the recent introduction of direct-call-timeout and indirect-call-timeout), this commit adds a new setting unwind-on-timeout. This new setting is just like the existing unwindonsignal and unwind-on-terminating-exception, but the new setting will cause GDB to unwind the stack if an inferior function call times out. The existing inferior function call timeout tests have been updated to cover the new setting.

+ These commands control whether GDB should unwind the stack when a
+ timeout occurs during an inferior function call. The default is
+ off, in which case the inferior will remain in the frame where the
+ timeout occurred. When on, GDB will unwind the stack removing the
+ dummy frame that was added for the inferior call, and restoring the
+ inferior state to how it was before the inferior call started.
