remove bogus custom timeout handling code
in networking, hitting a timeout requires that *nothing* happens during the
interval. whenever anything happens, the timeout is reset.
there's no need to do custom time calculations, it's perfectly fine to let
the kernel handle it using the select() syscall.
additionally the code added in 0b9a74c29036f9215b2b97a301b7b25933054302
assures that read and write syscalls() don't block indefinitely and return
on the timeout too, so there's no need to switch sockets back and forth
between blocking/nonblocking.
