This werk adds the option to configure timeouts for the MSSQL agent plugin (rule "Microsoft SQL Server (Windows)"). There are two types of timeouts. The connection timeout is triggered when the agent plugin takes too long to connect to an instance. The command timeout controls the time available for executing commands such as SQL queries on the instances.
If a connection timeout is triggered, the plugin skips the entire instance and continues with the next one. Note that this werk also changes the default connection timeout from 2 seconds to the default value used by ADO (15 s). In case of a command timeout, only the current command is skipped and the plugin continues with the next command on the same instance.
Finally, this werk also fixes a bug in the handling of errors for the check mssql_tablespaces. Errors such as timeouts reported by the agent plugin are now displayed in the GUI and the check goes to CRITICAL instead of UNKNOWN.
