[rancid] Set per-host timeout in .cloginrc?

[Michael W. Lucas]

Hi,

I have a Mikrotik that runs export very slowly. It has several
full-route BGP peers in IPv4 and IPv6, filtering rules, and so on, so
this isn't terribly surprising.

The default rancid timeout is 90 seconds.

Is it possible to change the timeout in .cloginrc for just this
particular host, or do I need to edit mtlogin?

cloginrc timeout knob is supposed to provide this, but its missing in
mtlogin. this patch should do it.

Patch works. Timeout is successfully set, changes checked in.

Thank you!
