There's been a few requests for functionality similar to io_getevents()
and epoll_wait(), where the user can specify a timeout for waiting on
events. I deliberately did not add support for this through the system
call initially to avoid overloading the args, but I can see that the use
cases for this are valid.

This adds support for IORING_OP_TIMEOUT. If a user wants to get woken
when waiting for events, simply submit one of these timeout commands
with your wait call. This ensures that the application sleeping on the
CQ ring waiting for events will get woken. The timeout command is passed
in a pointer to a struct timespec. Timeouts are relative.

liburing has a test case for this, as well as the helper function to
setup the timeout command.
