Stig Telfer ffb4767c05 Increase the Fluentd request timeout for ES
Fluentd has a default timeout of 5s for flushing data to ElasticSearch.
If there is a significant backlog of unsent log messages, this timeout
can be exceeded, resulting in Fluentd failing to make further progress.

Raise the default timeout to 60s.

This patch adopts the configuration parameters previously proposed by
Krzysztof Klimonda.

Under circumstances of extended disruption to the Fluentd-ElasticSearch
central logging pipeline, it is possible to generate a sufficient buffer
of unsent log data that takes longer than the default Fluentd request
timeout (default 5 seconds) to transfer the buffer. The default request
timeout value is raised to ``60s``, and made configurable using new
parameter ``fluentd_elasticsearch_request_timeout``. `LP#1983031
