      New service timeout parameter for Windows

      On Windows systems, you can now specify a `timeout` parameter that configures how long, in seconds, Puppet should wait when syncing service properties.

      For example:

      ```
      service { "service-name":
         enable => true,
         ensure => running,
         timeout => 45
      }
      ```

    Description

      User story - I, as a user, can configure how long I want puppet to wait before determining a windows service is 'unresponsive' to startup/shutdown and throws an error.

       

      After moving to FFI/Windows API calls, we should add a configurable timeout when waiting for pending statuses during shutdown/startup. 

       

      Currently the puppet API will leverage the wait hint returned from the windows API to determine if a service is taking too long to move out of a pending state. We need to give the user the ability to specify their own timeout for these periods for services the user knows might take long periods to transition.
