Accept pg_ctl timeout from the PGCTLTIMEOUT environment variable.
Noah Misch <noah@leadboat.com>
Accept pg_ctl timeout from the PGCTLTIMEOUT environment variable. Many automated test suites call pg_ctl. Buildfarm members axolotl, hornet, mandrill, shearwater, sungazer and tern have failed when server shutdown took longer than the pg_ctl default 60s timeout. This addition permits slow hosts to easily raise the timeout without us editing a --timeout argument into every test suite pg_ctl call. Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions) for the sake of automated testing. Reviewed by Tom Lane.
