Previously we would timeout switch ports after 300s of inactivity. Ideally active connections would be configured to send keep-alive packets sooner than this. To better support cases with no keep-alives, it's useful to be able to reconfigure the idle timeout (e.g. to make it much bigger or disable it altogether).
This patch adds
--port-max-idle-time
slirp/port-max-idle-time
which allow the default 300s to be overriden. Values
<= 0
disable the timeout mechanism completely.Related to #235
