timeout (uu_timeout) for Windows

[Azathothas]

Hi, is it possible to fix timeout (uu_timeout) so that it can also build & work on Windows ?

Currently, it fails:

Not sure if this helps, but busybox-w32 already has timeout : https://github.com/rmyorston/busybox-w32/blob/master/coreutils/timeout.c I tested and that one works, so hopefully, it should be trivial to patch https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/tree/main/src/uu/timeout as well.
