[JENKINS-41393] Add time interval parameters to timeout step

I'm not sure where the timeout step is defined, but it would be nice if it had some more intuitive parameters.

Currrently, it offers time and units.

options {

    timeout time: 5, units: 'MINUTES'

}

Since Groovy and Jenkins both provide for optional parameters we should provide parameters to make this simpler to write:

options {

    timeout minutes: 5

}

This could also allow for combining of parameters:

options {

    timeout hours: 2, minutes: 15

}
