timeout: with --foreground don't send SIGCONT
* src/timeout.c (cleanup): Don't send SIGCONT to the monitored program when --foreground is specified, as it's generally not needed for foreground programs, and can cause intermittent signal delivery issues with monitors like GDB for example. * doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Mention that SIGCONT is not sent with --foreground. * NEWS: Mention the behavior change.
