Yes, this would be very useful.  Should be easy to implement generically
for all commandline scanners (they all share the same code in the base
class), but a little more difficult for daemonized scanners, as they all
work slightly differently and could require different timeout values for
different stages.

For the interface, passing a config parameter of

	scan_timeout => $some_number_of_seconds,

would be applicable to all types of scanners, with general daemonized
scanners having at least:

	connect_timeout => $some_number_of_seconds

and possibly more scanner-specific options (like ping_timeout for
clamd).

Thoughts?
