Description
The `async_std::future::timeout` function panics if a large duration is provided. This should either be documented as a possible panic conditon or changed to no longer panic.
Repro:
```rust
#[async_std::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
async_std::future::timeout(Duration::MAX, async {}).await;
Ok(())
}
```
Looks like the cause is an unchecked add in smol: https://github.com/smol-rs/async-io/blob/master/src/lib.rs#L162
