[WIP] Timeout custom JS after 2000ms

[saper]

Do not wait for the JavaScript code
indefinitely - abort execution
attempt after 2000ms.

JavaScript code might never get called
if no loop events will be processed
(#1048)
or might block forever if there are
no more worker threads available
(#857).

Nice! I think 2s might be too short on slow systems though… how about 20s? It's not like this will be encountered often…

Feel free to change it as you wish. It's an experimental patch and it's kind of wrong, but it might
help to diagnose the problem (I doubt it will make compilation possible - it might only help to pinpoint
the offending include).

@saper what's the status of this?

This is just a workaround for people experiencing #1048 or #857, it still merges with the master. I'd leave it open here.
