Add an option to limit the step function execution time #51

Large data sets can cause the word cloud to spend a lot of time in the step function before drawing the final outcome. A maximum time limit option would be a nice addition.

I submitted a pull request with my own interpretation of this option.

Sorry about the lack of documentation, but I think cloud.timeInterval achieves a similar result, by limiting the amount of time spent in the step function. Does that solve your issue? Feel free to reopen if you think your approach is better!

Yes! That is exactly what I need, I will use cloud.timeInterval instead.

Thanks!
