Support configuring deadlines on server side
Allow to configure deadlines generically for requests by request type,
request URI pattern, caller and/or project pattern.
If multiple matching deadlines are configured the more strict deadline
(the one with the lower timeout) is applied.
Clients are able to override the configured deadlines by setting a
deadline on the request.
At the moment deadlines are only supported for REST, GIT_RECEIVE and SSH
requests but not for GIT_UPLOAD requests. Deadline support for
GIT_UPLOAD request may be implemented later.
