Sets the time in seconds after which I/O operations on @socket will
time out if they have not yet completed.
On a blocking socket, this means that any blocking #GSocket
operation will time out after @timeout seconds of inactivity,
returning %G_IO_ERROR_TIMED_OUT.
On a non-blocking socket, calls to g_socket_condition_wait() will
also fail with %G_IO_ERROR_TIMED_OUT after the given time. Sources
created with g_socket_create_source() will trigger after
@timeout seconds of inactivity, with the requested condition
set, at which point calling g_socket_receive(), g_socket_send(),
g_socket_check_connect_result(), etc, will fail with
%G_IO_ERROR_TIMED_OUT.
If @timeout is 0 (the default), operations will never time out
on their own.
Note that if an I/O operation is interrupted by a signal, this may
cause the timeout to be reset.
