fuse: add kernel-enforced timeout option for requests

There are situations where fuse servers can become unresponsive or
stuck, for example if the server is deadlocked. Currently, there's no
good way to detect if a server is stuck and needs to be killed manually.

This commit adds an option for enforcing a timeout (in seconds) for
requests where if the timeout elapses without the server responding to
the request, the connection will be automatically aborted.

Please note that these timeouts are not 100% precise. For example, the
request may take roughly an extra FUSE_TIMEOUT_TIMER_FREQ seconds beyond
the requested timeout due to internal implementation, in order to
mitigate overhead.
