The intent is to avoid having to override the respective TCL procedures

shipped with DejaGNU.
Upstreaming changes like these is very important because monkeypatching
the framework is not and cannot be supported and may break in various
strange ways in the future.

A change for the timeout factor will follow. As it consists of a DejaGNU
part and a GCC part I chose to send it separately so as not to cross-post
this whole series between the DejaGNU and GCC mailing lists.
Any questions, comments, or concerns? Otherwise please apply.
Patches 1, 2, and 3 applied as offered on branch mwr-patch-20231212.
Patch 4 has been revised and applied on the branch because the command
to be executed is free-form text while the timeout is a simple number;
the revised format ("Executing on MACHINE with timeout TIMEOUT:
COMMAND") is easier to reliably parse.
