Default GitInput timeout is too low for nixpkgs

[JJJollyjim]

Describe the bug

By default, git commands run by GitInput.pm time out after 600 seconds. This is not enough time to perform the first fetch of nixpkgs (2.19GiB) on a VDSL (~15mbps) connection.

Additionally, the timeout doesn't seem to be documented outside of the GitInput.pm file itself, and it is hard to find from the error message (which is just the word "timeout") creating a pretty poor experience for first-time users.

Even on my gigabit connection, I only get 80mbps from GitHub*, which means a fresh nixpkgs clone takes 329.71s wall time to transfer the necessary 2.19GiB. This provides very little wiggle room for nixpkgs to get larger or for GitHub to get slower.

*Not sure if this is a universal experience, or if GitHub just has poor geo-distribution and it's only an issue for non-US people.

hydra/src/lib/Hydra/Plugin/GitInput.pm

Lines 80 to 83 in 01fb23d

	# default values
	my $values = {
	timeout => 600,
	};

Happy to PR bumping the timeout (3600s?) if that's an acceptable approach. An analogue of nix's max-silent-time might be a more elegant solution if the goal is to detect hanging/stuck checkouts, though.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Limit internet speed to 20mbps, e.g. tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 20000kbit burst 20000
2. Create a jobset with a git input of nixpkgs
3. Observe that evaluation fails

This can be worked around for now using the following configuration snippet:

{
  services.hydra.extraConfig = ''
    <git-input>
      timeout = 3600
    </git-input>
  '';
}
