Merry Christmas! :christmas_tree: :gift: :santa: :mrs_claus:

• Added --timeout flag to the Remote Taskfiles experiment (#1317, #1345 by @pd93).
• Fix bug where dynamic vars: and env: were being executed when they should actually be skipped by platforms: (#1273, #1377 by @andreynering).
• Fix schema.json to make silent valid in cmds that use for (#1385, #1386 by @iainvm).
• Add new --no-status flag to skip expensive status checks when running task --list --json (#1348, #1368 by @amancevice).

• Enabled the --yes flag for the Remote Taskfiles experiment (#1344 by @pd93).
• Add ability to set watch: true in a task to automatically run it in watch mode (#231, #1361 by @andreynering).
