Description
It looks like twisted uses a 2 minute timeout by default, and the API for overriding that is to set a .timeout attribute on the test function.
I guess for #27 purposes we could stick with the 2 minute default ("it's traditional"), and then provide the usual pytest rigamorale for making the default overrideable (conf file, pytest.mark)

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the test harness and its existing timeout behavior, then determine how a two-minute default and overrides through configuration or pytest.mark should be exposed. Done means the default is enforced and both override mechanisms work.
