When not using the --foreground option timeout(1) is supported to signal all
command children hierarchy, timeout(1) now acquire the reaper to ensure this
really happens and no children process can escaper from timeout(1) control
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
Document the exit values and the duration format
Improve wording

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)
