[dispatcher] Thread timeouts

[gkistler]

We discussed some sort of fail safe timeout for twisted threads to prevent threadpool exhaustion due to unforeseen circumstances. Unfortunately this looks pretty non-trivial; lots of discussion about various workarounds (of varying levels of ugliness) here:

That discussion contains links to other discussions about this particular issue. Looks like there are a lot of ways we could potentially address this.

Sweet, looks like another massively complicated thing.
Can't wait.
