It was already possible to set the timeout parameter for the VM config via the API. However, the value was not considered when the function config_aware_timeout() was called. Now, if the timeout parameter is set, it will override the heuristic calculation of the VM start timeout.
During testing I found a problem where really big values (10^20)+ would be converted to scientific notation, which means they no longer pass the integer type check. To get around this, I set the maximum value for the timeout to 2,680,000 seconds, which is around 31 days. This I'd wager, is an upper limit in which nobody should realistically run into.
