docs: Add suggested timeout response argument to GET_MBOX_INFO It would be nice to suggest to the host how long it should wait for a response to a command before assuming that the BMC is not going to respond and timing out. Add a response argument for this to the GET_MBOX_INFO command. We don't want to require a BMC to set this so we allow it to be zero to indicate that no suggestion has been given. This doesn't require us to bump the protocol number since the current daemon just sets this to zero (which is allowed) and the host is free to ignore this, which it currently does.

This repo contains the protocol definition for the host to BMC mailbox communication specification which can be found in Documentation/mbox_procotol.md.
There is also a reference implementation of a BMC mailbox daemon, the details of which can be found in Documentation/mboxd.md.
Finally there is also an implementation of a mailbox daemon control program, the details of which can be found in Documentation/mboxctl.md.
