Normally (except in this kind of situation), checkpoints progress and need
no aggressive timeout as a guard. On the other hand, full checkpoints with huge
state (for example when re-running a streaming job on historic data) may once
in a while take long (when the network is congested or so) and we did not want
to overaggressively kill the pending checkpoints in that case.
