Add -kill option to specify kill delay

The delay between receiving the 'quit' command and killing an engine
that survives that can now be specified through an option (the value
of which will be added to the 50ms default delay). To make this compatible
with WinBoard/XBoard's option -delayAfterQuit, the value is interpreted
as seconds in the Windows compile, and milliseconds otherwise.
