    [FIXED JENKINS-28245] Allow finer-grained tuning of ChannelPinger.
  
  
  	
  Allows customization in seconds, not minutes
  	
  Allows customization of the ping timeout (before, you could set a
     custom interval, but the timeout would always be PingThread's 4
     minute default)
  
  
  
  This also drops the serialVersionUID from ChannelPinger.SetUpRemotePing;
  without one provided, the JVM will generate one on demand which is
  sufficient for the purposes here since these are never persisted and
  master & slave run the same compiled code. (And it demonstrably works
  since countless other MasterToSlaveCallables fail to specify their own
  custom IDs)
