tests: make a long running test responsive to Ctrl-C
* tests/misc/sort-compress-hang.sh: Use --foreground with the
timeout(1) command (noting the caveats), to run the sort command
in the foreground program group, and thus be responsive to Ctrl-C.
This very_expensive_ test takes over a minute on a i3-2310M,
with RAM backed /tmp.
