remctl_set_timeout() sets the timeout for connections and commands to timeout, which should be an integer
       number of seconds.  timeout may be 0 to clear a timeout that was previously set and restore the default
       behavior of having no timeout.  All subsequent operations on the given struct remctl argument will be
       subject to this timeout, including remctl_open() if called prior to calling remctl_open().

       The timeout is a timeout on network activity from the server, not on a complete operation.  So, for
       example, a timeout of ten seconds just requires that the server send some data every ten seconds.  If the
       server sends only tiny amounts of data at a time, the complete operation could take much longer than ten
       seconds without triggering the timeout.

remctl_set_timeout() returns true on success and false on failure.  The only failure case is if timeout
       is negative.  On failure, the caller should call remctl_error() to retrieve the error message.
