Summary We should remove the watchdog timer from DumpRenderTree

There's already a watchdog timer in run-webkit-tests - having a watchdog timer in DumpRenderTree itself makes it difficult to adjust timeout values via command line flags, or introduce longer timeouts when running valgrind/GuardMalloc. We should remove the watchdog timer in DumpRenderTree, and have the watchdog timer in run-webkit-tests signal DumpRenderTree to force a notifyDone() (perhaps by writing something to STDIN, or sending a signal, or some other mechanism).
