Add OperationTimeout configuration for CIM

[ACALVETT]

Summary of new feature

• If the default CIM timeout on a server is set to indefinite when get-dbaCmObject queries a server that is hung or has a corrupted WMI then get-dbaCmObject never completes. To overcome the problem "OperationTimeoutSec" could be introduced as a dbaToolsConfig setting in the computer management section and then applied to CIM connection to prevent the hang.

@ClaudioESSilva Can you please have a look at this and suggest a name for the config parameter? @FriedrichWeinmann / @wsmelton / @jpomfret : I'm not a CIM or WMI expert, so please review this if you are. And have a look at the linked issue that was closed by the stale bot - Do we have an issue with having WMI as fallback of CIM?

Hi @potatoqualitee - can you have a look? Thanks.

[potatoqualitee]

Sounds good. Should we add a sane default?

[andreasjordan]

I would take 60 seconds as the default.

Does anyone know how to implement this?

[andreasjordan]

As I don't have an environment to test this and not enough knowlegde to implement it, I will step back and de-assign myself.
