tests: add failsafe timeout for tests running in fork mode

some tests manage to deadlock themselves on travis, seemingly due to some
hard to reproduce issues which are a result of the extremely low amount of
resources available on travis builds

this adds a simple 'timeout' process which does nothing but sleep(60);
and then returns. the exiting of this process will cause the main test
process to break out of the deadlock and then exit instead of timing out
a ci build
