Let's not layer two confusing mechanisms like that on top of each other.
The original one that we had is broken. Let's stop using it.
Oh, I think I have half-killed this timeout during bootstrap already. The
bootstrap code doesn't retry after the 10 second timeout. It just tries
another server whenever the schedule comes up. But what I do need to do is
remove the close-on-timeout behaviour.
I left the non-bootstrap code using the old mechanism which times out
after 10 seconds and retries. That's probably ok when a client has a live
consensus and can afford to try for a few hours to get one. But I'd be
happy to change that in 0.2.9 as well.
