Add timeout argument for async

[dat-boris]

A simple change to allow timeout parameter to be passed to feature implemented in:

mhevery/jasmine-node#142

Please do let me know if there's any feedback.

Thanks for this great snippet that make life easier for async test.

This actually resolves an issue we discussed today where we needed a test to wait longer (due to various conditions). Granted, having to design for this reveals a larger flaw, but when pinned and need a solution ... well it's convention with configuration like this request that helps

Just applied it to our test-suite. We have tests that take up to 10 seconds in older firefox-versions (we have to support). This made our tests work again on the build-server.

Seriously, this pull request deserves some attention. Would make some awesome code even awesomer.

at this point, i don't plan to maintain this code repo. jasmine v2.x has this feature built in without needing an additional library. if someone is still working with jasmine v1.0 and wants to maintain this library, let me know and i'll transfer ownership of this library to you

@derickbailey understood, but if it's any motivation to you to continue work on this feature, it doesn't look like it exists in Jasmine 2 docs. If a timeout for a specific spec is desired, they recommend storing the old timeout value, setting it, then resetting it after the spec:

I see it on the 2.9 specs: https://jasmine.github.io/api/2.9/global.html#it

I'm using version 5 currently and the feature is working correctly for me. I think it's worthwhile adding to 1 if someone is still maintaining it, but most could upgrade to a newer version or work around to using before/after functions to reset it.
