[LTP] [Patch V2] lib: multiply the max_runtime if detect kernel debug options

[Li Wang <liwang@redhat.com>]

The method adjusts the max_runtime for test cases by multiplying
it by a factor (4x) if any debug kernel options are detected.
Debug kernel configurations (such as CONFIG_KASAN, CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, etc.)
are known to degrade performance, and this adjustment ensures
that tests do not fail prematurely due to timeouts.

As Cyril pointed out that a debug kernel will typically run
slower by a factor of N, and while determining the exact value
of N is challenging, so a reasonable upper bound is sufficient
for practical purposes.

Notes:
    Hi, @Cyril, @Petr, I have no openSUSE and Ubuntu at my hands, could you
    help check if the debug configures are useful to the other two platforms?
    Or, should we add any more options there? Thanks.
