# Function to execute a binary and kill it when a needle is found in its output or after a timeout
# Parameters:
#   binary_path: Path to the binary to execute
#   binary_parameters: Parameters to pass to the binary
#   needle: Needle to match in the output
#   timeout: Timeout after which to kill the process
# Returns:
#   The return code of the binary
# Notes:
#   This function uses subprocess.Popen to execute the binary in a sandbox and capture its output.
#   It then loops through the output lines and checks if the needle is found in the output.
#   If the needle is found, the process is killed and the function returns. If the needle is not found,
#   the function waits for the process to finish and returns its return code.
#   Since popen is used, it does not accept a timeout parameter.
#   Instead, the timeout is implemented by using the timeout command to run the binary.
#   We could not use the timeout parameter of subprocess.run because it blocks the execution of the script
#   until the process finishes.
#   This means that we would not be able to capture the output of the process.
