I think its better to set the max value of timeout property to G_MAXUINT
instead of 3600. 
Let's give freedom to user to choose any value from 0 to G_MAXUINT.

Also adding use case to explain the need of timeout property.
Run a server on one machine.
#server-107.108.234.23:
nc -l -p 3000

Run following pipeline on another machine
#client-107.108.234.56:
gst-launch tcpclientsrc host="107.108.234.23" port=3000 ! fdsink fd=2

If we pull the network cable from the client machine, it never detects 
the network failure and keeps waiting for the data from server.

Setting timeout value can be useful here.
