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.
