[CMake] execute command during ctest timeout

[Leif Walsh]

When you file it please shoot me an email, I'd like to vote for this
feature.

Another idea if you are up to it is to add a watchdog to your own test,
it's as simple as using alarm(3) and making a SIGALRM handler that invokes
pstree and gdb however you like.  You could make the timeout slightly
shorter than the ctest timeout and probably get good results.
