Summary:                    [patch] Added CURL() Function Timeout Argument
Description: 
If you have a long running web script the CURL function is currently hard
coded to timeout after 180 seconds.  This patch adds a 3rd parameter to the
function which when set overrides the 180 second default.

Example usage:
exten => 1,1,Set(foo=${CURL(http://127.0.0.1/test.pl,,3)})
Which will set a timeout of 3 seconds on the CURL call.

I'm not sure I like this solution.  This would mean that you would be
unable to have commas in the POST data, which is not a reasonable
assumption.  I'd be much happier with either a variable specifying the
timeout or a prefixed option.
