Support check execution timeouts about sensu HOT 5 CLOSED

Need to ensure checks that take longer to execute then their defined timeout are killed.

I think that means you have to come up with your own version of EM.defer that implements thread timeouts. I don't see any chance to do that with the current implementation of EM.defer.

@bernd you could implement a ruby timeout() within the defer, killing the check in progress and setting the exit status code and output. The callback would be happy.

We do all of our timeout logic within plugins, as it helps identify where the timeout is actually occurring when multiple steps are involved. Produces more helpful output etc.

Oh, right. I guess that was too simple for me to see. :) Sorry for the noise.
