Alternative  timeout handling

Alternatively, rather than expecting libsoup to (re)act on timeout, one might
do some timeout monitoring on souphttpsrc level.  The advantage is that it does
not depend on libsoup (fix) and is better aware that a timeout has actually
occurred.  However, since it monitors timeout on a higher level, it might also
(theoretically) timeout on a large amount of data/headers over a slow
connection where there need not really be a (lower level network) timeout.
