block/iscsi: add support for request timeouts
libiscsi starting with 1.15 will properly support timeout of iscsi commands. The default will remain no timeout, but this can be changed via cmdline parameters, e.g.: qemu -iscsi timeout=30 -drive file=iscsi://... If a timeout occurs a reconnect is scheduled and the timed out command will be requeued for processing after a successful reconnect. The required API call iscsi_set_timeout is present since libiscsi 1.10 which was released in October 2013. However, due to some bugs in the libiscsi code the use is not recommended before version 1.15. Please note that this patch bumps the libiscsi requirement to 1.10 to have all function and macros defined. The patch fixes also a off-by-one error in the NOP timeout calculation which was fixed while touching these code parts.
