Bisect with --timeout panics on Mac

[jruderman]

Trying to use the --timeout flag on Mac causes the bisector to panic:

$ RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo-bisect-rustc --start=2022-10-03 --preserve --timeout 5

I believe cargo-bisect-rustc is assuming the presence of a utility called timeout that is common on Linux but not on Mac. The --timeout feature was added in PR #135 (@savente93, @ehuss).

I don't have access to a mac so this is not something I can diagnose. However I imagine adding a conditional cfg on line

cargo-bisect-rustc/src/toolchains.rs

Line 260 in c7a4b84

let mut cmd = Command::new("timeout");

to use a more appropriate tool should be enough

Switching to the wait-timeout crate might also be an option.

macOS doesn't ship with a timeout command. I'm surprised this is implemented using a CLI tool, rather than a timeout in Rust.

Here's a workaround:

brew install coreutils
