54c2e46443 Improve compatibility with GNU timeout
According to the coreutils regression testsuite for timeout(1)
It is expect to exit with a status being:
125 in case an invalid duration or signal is passed in arguments
126 in case an invalid command is passed in arguments
127 in case the command passed in arguments does not exists.

While here document this behaviour in the man page

42148fc49d New BSDL timeout(1) utility compatible with GNU timeout
it fully passes the GNU timeout regression tests, it is written in a mostly
portable way (only signal parsing is relying on non portable structures)
