[PATCH] Timeouts in hybrid server's buff

[Manoj Kasichainula <ma...@raleigh.ibm.com>]

The attached patch redoes the way timeouts work in the hybrid server.
Before, each call into buff.c that used timeouts had to pass in a
time_t that indicated the timeout for that particular call. This patch
changes timeouts to work more like apache-nspr implemented them.

Now, the timeout for a particular buff is set using bsetopt(blah blah
BO_TIMEOUT). This allows us to essentially return to the old API for
all the buff calls, so module writers have a little less work to do.
We also avoid passing an extra argument through a long stack of
function calls.
