On macOS, retdec-archive-decompiler.sh fails with the following error:

$ retdec-archive-decompiler.sh
error: The `timeout` command is required but it is not available. Aborting.

The reason for this is that on macOS, timeout from GNU coreutils is installed as gtimeout (unless you have installed coreutils with brew install coreutils --with-default-names).

We should update the script so it uses gtimeout when available (we already do the same for e.g. greadlink and gha256sum).

Fixed in b9214ea. When gtimeout is available, it is now used instead of timeout. This fixes many of our regression tests on macOS.
