Permit the "waitmax" timeout to be adjusted (with a suitable warning about the length of the cache time) #70

The current "waitmax" commands used in the agent script use a hard coded value. THis may be better implemeneted as a WATO configurable item that allows the user to define a longer time to wait (particularly for slower, older machines, raspberry PIs etc - and any machines with MANY outstanding updates)

Looking into this further, I realised that as this is a control that is part of the agent script, it would require to be changed in a config file on the agent or in the agent script itself. This would significantly complicate the deployment of the script for the circumstances into which I personally would want to use it and thus isn't worth me looking into further.
