Summary: check_procs & timeout

Initial Comment:
The check_procs plugin does not set a timeout before
executing the ps command. This may result in poor
timeout behavior, for example a NRPE error stating the
socket timed out vs a 'pretty' error indicating that ps
didn't complete in time.

There was already a placeholder for a timeout flag in
check_procs. I've added the extra couple lines to make it
happen and in testing it appears to work as advertised.
Fixed in HEAD.
