We also need to protect against ever actually *hitting* the dhclient timeout during normal operation.

netcfg and network-manager already do their own dhcp timeout handling, so only ifupdown is still affected. We should raise the default timeout in dhclient, otherwise we just have interfaces that never come up instead of ones that say they're up when they aren't.
