autofs-5.0.4 - add mount wait parameter

From: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>

Often delays when trying to mount from a server that is not reponding
for some reason are undesirable. To try and prevent these delays we
provide a configuration setting to limit the time that we wait for
our spawned mount(8) process to complete before sending it a SIGTERM
signal. This patch adds a configuration parameter to allow us to
request we limit the time we wait for mount(8) to complete before
send it a TERM signal.
