[undertow-dev] Setting/handling request timeouts

This is an area that we are looking to improve. In particular I am 
looking into adding more options in this area, to give more control over 
when timeouts are applied.

For example I am thinking something like:

NO_REQUEST_TIMEOUT - How long the server should wait between requests
PARSE_TIMEOUT - the maximum amount of time that should be spent parsing 
a HTTP request
READ_TIMEOUT - When reading a request entity the maximum idle timeout

I'm not sure if this covers all the use cases though.
