[LLVMdev] Link step timeout on buildbots

it does serve a purpose, since every now and again buildbots hang forever due
to a miscompilation turning a finite loop in a compiled program into an
infinite loop, or by an optimizer going into an infinite loop due to a bug in
it.

As for setting timeouts, the builders have a timeout parameter, take a look in
llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/zorg/trunk/buildbot/osuosl/master/config

Ciao, Duncan.
