Provide 'delay' option to specify delays between consecutive request

[ppaulweber]

Problem to solve

In order to test time sensitive (related) behavioral patterns of servers hurl would need to express a "delay" in order to wait between to consecutive requests.

Proposal

Provide a TIMEOUT keyword to express on ms (or even ns) granularity a timeout about to delay consecutive requests as depicted in the following example:

POST {{LOCATION}}/endpoint
{
  "key": "value"
}

TIMEOUT 150

GET {{LOCATION}}/endpoint

Additional context and resources

This use case is related to describe more expressive and compete test/benchmark plans using combinations of the features proposed in #88 (comment)

Hi @ppaulweber ,
we plan to add a delayoption in our [Options] section to delay the execution of the request.

POST {{LOCATION}}/endpoint
{
  "key": "value"
}

GET {{LOCATION}}/endpoint
[Options]
delay: 150

@fabricereix sounds great. So from the example you provided the semantics would be that the GET request is delayed by 150ms, right?
