Add an overall timeout on the client authentication cycle, so that
a hung client or lost connection can't indefinitely block a postmaster
child (not to mention the possibility of deliberate DoS attacks).
Timeout is controlled by new authentication_timeout GUC variable,
which I set to 60 seconds by default ... does that seem reasonable?
