Title:
  adt-run's --timeout-factor option doesn't do anything

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I'm hitting a copy timeout testing mysql-5.6. I used --timeout-
  factor=10, but this didn't seem to help. I'm now trying --timeout-
  copy=3000 explicitly.

  I took a look at the code. Although --timeout-factor is defined, I
  can't see the value being used anywhere (I grepped for "factor"). So
  am I missing something, or has the code that implemented this
  disappeared? It seems to me that it is falsely documented to exist.

  I'm using version 3.5.1, but I also checked the source in current git
  master (tagged 3.9.5).
