[SUREFIRE-1745] Global Junit Test timeout

Hi,

We need unit test level time-out similar to this https://github.com/junit-team/junit4/wiki/Timeout-for-tests  in surefire where we can configure a timeout similar to _parallelTestsTimeoutForcedInSeconds_. 

Also, I've observed that _parallelTestsTimeoutForcedInSeconds_ is not able to stop the infinite loop kind of test, and for other kinds of test even after timeout error in the log, the test is marked as successful in the surefire report.

Can we have something similar to Junit timeout in surefire where we can configure global test timeout which will only stop that particular test which takes more than configured time and mark it as timeout error in the report, without impacting/stopping any other test's execution?

```java
@Test
public void infiniteLoop(){
while (true) {}
}

```

**Affects:** 3.0.0-M4

The issue names Surefire's parallelTestsTimeoutForcedInSeconds setting and the Surefire report but no repository files or tests. Start by tracing the existing timeout behavior and reviewing the issue discussion; done means a configurable global timeout stops only the overlong test, marks it as a timeout error, and leaves other tests running.
