Connection Timeouts

[julester23]

There ought to be a means of setting a connection timeout. I am using your txcosm library to upload datapoints, but would like it to be robust enough to handle intermittent internet connections. The reactor Agent takes a "connectTimeout" argument which could be helpful but doesn't handle cases in which the connection is established, but the request hangs. Perhaps you intend for people to schedule callLaters to cancel jobs?

I have made changes to the project to support request timeouts. There is now a small mention of it in the readme and there is a test_timeout.py in the tests directory that you can look at for how you would use the timeout value in your particular case.
If you get a chance to test it out let me know how you go.

The timeout works well, nicely done. I don't have the necessary Twisted skills to add that feature myself, so I really appreciate it.
