[Buildroot] [PATCH buildroot-test v2 1/1] scripts/autobuild-run: make hung build timeout configurable

[James Hilliard]

A reasonable value for this may vary depending on system load, specs
and how many parallel builds are being run, so we should make it
configurable.

Tweak LoadConfigFile parser to properly convert arg types.

I am just wondering if it really makes sense to make this configurable.
Indeed, it's very hard to figure out what is the "right" value.

Have you seen specific problems with the current timeout?

Yeah, I've had to raise it in some cases, mostly when running lots
of single threaded builders on slower systems, there's a few packages
like browsers that seem to often take a very long time to build and
potentially run into timeout issues.
