timeout: Only TERM signal sent to timeout is propagated to child #10238

Description

@eaibmz

In contrast to GNU coreutils, uutils coreutils timeout is propagating only the TERM signal, e.g. INT signal just kills the timeout process.
Is this intentional ?

Test:

$ timeout -v 365d sleep 100
$ pkill -INT timeout

Compare with TERM:

$ timeout -v 365d sleep 100
$ pkill -TERM timeout
