When debugging, particularly when stepping through code in a debugger or
dealing with very slow operations, the console timeout can interfere.
Add a --no-timeout command-line option that disables the console
timeout. Adjust get_default_timeout() to checks for both --gdbserver and
--no-timeout, returning None to disable timeouts in either case. This
consolidates the timeout-disable logic that was previously spread across
multiple locations.

Cover-letter:
Malloc debugging and test/py improvements
This series adds malloc-debugging features including a traffic log and
file output for dumps, along with video optimisations and test/py
performance improvements.
The overall goal is to speed up pytests and make it easier to debug
memory leaks.
Changes include:
- Sandbox gprof profiling and mcheck runtime-disable support
- Video truetype scratch buffer to reduce malloc pressure
- Malloc traffic logging with 'malloc log' command
- File output for malloc dump and log
- test/py performance improvements reducing CPU usage by ~30%
