--timeout was wall-clock seconds, which is what CI wants but not what you want
when the question is whether the game has had long enough to get somewhere: a
heavy scene runs many times slower than real time and a near-idle one much
faster, so the same budget means very different amounts of game time. Booting a
firmware VSH is a good example - 10 emulated seconds is about 25 real ones on
6.61 and about 7 on 2.00, and judging those two by the same wall-clock number
makes a working shell look stuck.
Both limits can be set at once and whichever is reached first ends the run,
which also says which one it was. --timeout still works as the old name for
--timeout-wall. The IsDebuggerPresent() exemption stays on the wall-clock check
only; the emulated one doesn't need it, since sitting at a native breakpoint
burns no emulated time.
