#9553: sage -ba (build all) waits for input, making it harder to use in scripts

------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
When doing "sage -ba" from the shell, one gets a prompt:
{{{
*** WARNING ***
You are about to rebuild the entire Sage library.
This will take a significant amount of time.
Do you want to proceed? [y/n]
}}}
Since this waits forever for user input, it is harder to use in non-
interactive scripts. I propose to change the prompt and add a timer such
that "sage -ba" continues anyway when nothing has been typed for 30
seconds or so.
