Arma III timeout

[Cightline]

I'm getting a timeout while looking up Arma III servers.

python-valve version: 0.2.1
python version 3.5.3 and 3.6.3

Tested on Debian and Arch using this code https://gist.github.com/Cightline/12c6def0bddce9bb3a88335895f809c1

One test was on my local machine, the other was on a VPS.

Here is the output:

@vin173 has mentioned that Bohemia Interactive changed their protocol, I'm not sure what that would mean to you guys.

Here are a couple links from BI:

The master server has been deprecated for a while now and seems to be broken, maybe steam.client.builtins.gameservers.SteamGameServers from https://github.com/ValvePython/steam works better.

@Cightline your timeout is because the master server yields a list of servers that are not responding at the time (or your UDP packets are dropped because of network congestion).

The code that you're using doesn't have a second try/except placed in such a way that the failure of a single server to respond to your query will stop your whole script, instead of just marking that one server as unresponsive.

See my PR above.

After adding the try/except statements, the code raises further exceptions later but I think that they have already been reported as separate issues in the github issue tracker.

@overfl0 Ok sweet. Thanks for the update.
