in TST_RETRY_FN_EXP_BACKOFF() and thus in TST_RETRY_FUNC() in new C API.
This sync C API with shell API (added in previous commit).

+ mention LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL use in wiki.
+ use SPDX, add copyright

We also need a prefix/suffix in the variable definition to make sure
that it will
not alias with anything that has been passed to the FUNC, just like what we do
for the tst_delay_.

e.g. if the FUNC is defined as foo_func(m); the m variable will be aliased and
the function will do something very unexpected.

If we reverse some code order in tst_set_timeout() function, then here
we have no need to check if m < 1 again, since the LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL
valid check will be finished in setup() early phase.
(This comment is just FYI, and I also think it's OK to check twice.)

--------------------------------------
void tst_set_timeout(int timeout)
{
        float m = 1;
        char *mul = getenv("LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL");

        if (mul) {
                m = atof(mul);
                if (m < 1)
                        tst_brk(TBROK, "Invalid timeout multiplier '%s'", mul);
        }

        if (timeout == -1) {
                tst_res(TINFO, "Timeout per run is disabled");
                return;
        }

        results->timeout = timeout * m + 0.5;

        tst_res(TINFO, "Timeout per run is %uh %02um %02us",
                results->timeout/3600, (results->timeout%3600)/60,
                results->timeout % 60);

        if (getpid() == lib_pid)
                alarm(results->timeout);
        else
                heartbeat();
}

Good point, I'll fix it in v3.

Good point. I'd probably check twice in case the logic changes one day.

 This achievement makes that possible via keeping it retrying if the return
 value of the function is NOT as we expected. After exceeding a limited time,
 test will break from the retries immediately.
