The point of requests timing out is so that we don't wait indefinitely for
someone's caps to arrive, and so that we can send the disco request to another
contact who might reply sooner. But there are several different levels of
timing out that we could split up something like this:

» after l seconds, see if we can send the same disco request to a different
contact (who might answer sooner);
» after m seconds, if we're waiting on these caps to start a call, give up;
» after n seconds, stop waiting for the reply (to keep memory usage bounded).

This would be similar to how vCard requests were recently made to time out more
slowly.
