Summary: check_by_ssh exit status when reaching timeout

Initial Comment:
check_by_ssh currently exist with CRITICAL status when reaching timeout. When used just as a transport mechanism for invoking a remote plugin, it should rather exit with UNKNOWN status in this case.

The patch is trivial, I'd be happy to contribute it if this is agreed.

FYI,

There is an easy workaround: you can achieve the same effect by adding the
-oConnectTimeout=XX flag where XX is slightly less than the timeout set
with the -t flag.

I just noticed check_nrpe has -u switch for this very purpose.
