 Currently the test suite reports timeouts as "bad exit code". I think it
 should instead report timeouts as timeouts.

 Motivation: Often when working on a change that may make things slower (at
 least during development) I'm interested in seeing what tests are timing
 out vs. failing. Currently I have to save the whole test suite log to a
 file and then grep in the file to manually make a list of such tests.
