Add config variable for get_proc_timeout
This commit adds the couchdb/get_proc_timeout config variable to
default.ini. This is used by couch_query_servers when getting
a reference to an external process. Previously this value was
always infinity which meant that if anything went wrong in the
gen_server call to get_proc the process would hang around
indefinitely.

> Exceptions in couch_proc_manager:new_proc/1 leave dangling couch_query_servers
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-2425
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2425
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: JavaScript View Server
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Mike Wallace
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> If an exception is thrown in the try blocks in either of the
> couch_proc_manager:new_proc/1 clauses [1] [2] then a spawn_error is returned
> which is handled by a specific handle_info clause [3] which does not reply to
> the calling process. When the caller is couch_query_servers:get_os_process/1
> [4] there is an infinite timeout so that process will hang around until
> either the node reboots or someone intervenes.
> The user-facing symptom is an entry in _active_tasks that makes no progress
> and never goes away.
> The easiest way to reproduce this is to create a new view and then patch the
> code to force an exception in the appropriate place, e.g.: (assuming a live
> dev/run instance):
> 1. Create DB, add a ddoc and a doc:
> {code}
> $ curl -X PUT http://localhost:15984/kitteh
> {"ok":true}
> $ curl -X POST http://localhost:15984/kitteh -d '{"_id":"_design/view",
> "views": {"test": {"map": "function(doc) { emit(doc.id, 1); }"}}}' -H
> 'Content-Type: application/json'
> {"ok":true,"id":"_design/view","rev":"1-ef10f980522d4c8e691e3c26d4c3fac5"}
> $ curl -X PUT http://localhost:15984/kitteh/ohai -d '{}'
> {"ok":true,"id":"ohai","rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d"}
> {code}
> 2. Apply https://gist.github.com/mikewallace1979/79f823da25f6a78e2725 then
> re-run make and dev/run.
> 3. Attempt to query the view:
> {code}
> $ curl -X GET http://localhost:15984/kitteh/_design/view/_view/test
> {"error":"timeout","reason":"The request could not be processed in a
> reasonable amount of time."}
> {code}
> 4. Observe index build tasks which never go away:
> {code}
> $ curl -X GET http://localhost:15986/_active_tasks
