Summary: check_fping: expose fping timeout option (-t)

Initial Comment:
This patch exposes the fping timeout (-t) option to check_fping.  Necessary for checking hosts that are likely to have more than the default of 500msec RTT. 

Works in the same way as the timeout option for ping/check_ping.

Attached patch applies to version 1.4.13 of the plugins, though we've maintained this patch at my site for years.  Hopefully useful to the greater community.
