Tim Allison updated TIKA-2656:
------------------------------
    Description: 
We currently have a {{pulse}} in the ForkServer.  This roughly allows for 
timeouts, but, depending on the timing, the parser could run for nearly 2x as 
long as the {{pulse}}.  The other downside to our current reliance on {{pulse}} 
is that a parser could theoretically go forever as long as it outputs a byte 
within the {{pulse}} window.

Let's let users explicitly declare a max parse time, and a max wait time – how 
long should the server remain alive while waiting for a parse request.
