Nathan Kinder a58b77ca9c Timeout when performing time sync during client install
We use ntpd now to sync time before fetching a TGT during client
install.  Unfortuantely, ntpd will hang forever if it is unable to
reach the NTP server.

This patch adds the ability for commands run via ipautil.run() to
have an optional timeout.  This capability is used by the NTP sync
code that is run during ipa-client-install.

Code to be installed on any client that wants to be in an IPA domain.

Mostly consists of a tool for Linux systems that will help configure the
client so it will work properly in a kerberized environment.

It also includes several ways to configure Firefox to do single sign-on.

The two methods on the client side are:

1. globalsetup.sh. This modifies the global Firefox installation so that
   any profiles created will be pre-configured.

2. usersetup.sh. This will update a user's existing profile.

The downside of #1 is that an rpm -V will return a failure. It will also
need to be run with every update of Firefox.

One a profile contains the proper preferences it will be unaffected by
upgrades to Firefox. 

The downside of #2 is that every user would need to run this each time they
create a new profile.

There is a third, server-side method. See ipa-server/README for details.
