Clarify default timeout for all plugins
The default timeout for all plugins is 300, but the global timeout is set as -1 in the option list. This is because this timeout is unset by default. This patch attempts to clarify the -1 exposed to the user when using commands like 'sos report -l', via the option description as well as a note clarifying it in the man page. Closes: #2003 Resolves: #2415 Signed-off-by: Jose Castillo <jcastillo@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com>
