Fix for previous patch variant.

For all those waiting breathlessly (ha) for a correction to the ssh-keyscan patch I submitted earlier, here it is. I apologize for not getting it here sooner.

This variant adds a call to the `packet_set_timeout()' function using the time value set or defaulted to on the command line by the '-T' option. The man page actually implies that this is the case but the code to implement it was never included. Part of the new code is a trap for the timeout condition and a resetting of the remaining active socket's timeout values to compensate for the time used waiting for the slow/braindead server that caused the timeout.
