+gdb_reverse_timeout

+Defining this variable changes the default timeout duration when tests
+under gdb.reverse directory are running. Process record and reverse
+debugging is so slow that its tests have unexpected `TIMEOUT' test
+failures. This global variable is useful to bump up the value of
+`timeout' for gdb.reverse tests and doesn't cause any delay where
+actual failures happen in the rest of the testsuite.
