Description
Adds support for Mixlib::ShellOut's timeout feature to two of the local command runners, GenericRunner and WindowsShellRunner. This will allow InSpec to use command timeouts in local connections on more platforms.
Unfortunately I did not see any clear way of adding timeouts to WindowsPipeRunner, which might involve wrapping the script in a watchdog script. I've left that as a TODO for now.
