block: unify request timeout handling

Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
Move those bits to the block layer.

Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
less timer fiddling.
