config: add new limit: pending_fd_timeout
This is one of four commits needed to address CVE-2014-3637. When a file descriptor is passed to dbus-daemon, the associated D-Bus message might not be fully sent to dbus-daemon yet. Dbus-daemon keeps the file descriptor in the DBusMessageLoader of the connection, waiting for the rest of the message. If the client stops sending the remaining bytes, dbus-daemon will wait forever and keep that file descriptor. This patch adds pending_fd_timeout (milliseconds) in the configuration to disconnect a connection after a timeout when a file descriptor was sent but not the remaining message.
