test: add --abort-on-timeout option to test.py
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently, when a process times out, it is terminated by sending it the
SIGTERM signal. Sending SIGBART instead allows the operating system to
generate a core file that can be investigated later using post-mortem
debuggers such as llnode or mdb_v8.

This can be very useful when investigating flaky tests that time out,
since in that case the failure is difficult to reproduce, and being able
to look at a core file makes a big difference.

With these changes, passing the --abort-on-timeout command line option
to tools/test.py now sends SIGABRT to processes timing out on all
platforms but Windows.
