Well, I can make the registration interface similar to how LWLocks
are treated, but that doesn't avoid modification of the base_timeouts
array in case a new internal use case arises. Say:

#define USER_TIMEOUTS    4

int    n_timeouts = TIMEOUT_MAX;
static timeout_params base_timeouts[TIMEOUT_MAX + USER_TIMEOUTS];
Since timeouts - unlike lwlocks - do not need to touch shared memory,
there's no need for a hard-coded limit here.  You can just allocate
the array using MemoryContextAlloc(TopMemoryContext, ...) and enlarge
it as necessary.  To avoid needing to modify the base_timeouts array,
you can just have internal callers push their entries into the array
during process startup using the same function call that an external
module would use.

I know, but it doesn't feel right to "register" static functionality.
