    timeout.1: Document signal handling and mark POSIX.1-2024 comformant
    
    * Clarify that the started command will inherit the same signal
      dispositions as those inherited by the timeout(1) utility itself.
      This is required by the POSIX.1-2024 standard.
    
    * Document that timeout(1) will catch all signals and propagate them
      accordingly, as specified by the POSIX.1-2024 standard.
    
    * Improve and tweak some sentences to read better.
    
    * Mention nohup(1) and daemon(8) in "SEE ALSO" section. (obtained from
      FreeBSD)
    
    * Mark this implementation is expected to conform to the POSIX.1-2024
      standard.
