Introduce property for setting a connection timeout to the client side API

[glassfishrobot]

When using the JSR356 WebSocket Client side API to connect to a server:

javax.websocket.WebSocketContainer.connectToServer(...)

there is no way to specify a connection timeout. The method connectToServer() will block until it establishes a connection (which may never happen).

Some implementations (Tyrus, Jetty) provide their own specific ways to do this, but the spec does not.
