[report] add --cmd-timeout option
Add --cmd-timeout option to configure command timeout. Plugin-specific option of the same name (i.e. -k logs.cmd-timeout=60) can control the timeout per plugin. Option defaults and global/plugin-specific option preference follows the --plugin-timeout rules. Resolves: #2466 Signed-off-by: Pavel Moravec <pmoravec@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com>
