Add --with-timeoutfactor=NUM to specify TIMEOUTFACTOR
On Ice Lake and Tiger Lake laptops, some test programs timeout when there
are 3 "make check -j8" runs in parallel.  Add --with-timeoutfactor=NUM to
specify an integer to scale the timeout of test programs, which can be
overriden by TIMEOUTFACTOR environment variable.
