Simão Afonso df7f915fb6 crendential-store: use timeout when locking file
When holding the lock for rewriting the credential file, use a timeout
to avoid race conditions when the credentials file needs to be updated
in parallel.

An example would be doing `fetch --all` on a repository with several
remotes that need credentials, using parallel fetching.

The timeout can be configured using "credentialStore.lockTimeoutMS",
defaulting to 1 second.

credential.helper::
Specify an external helper to be called when a username or
password credential is needed; the helper may consult external
storage to avoid prompting the user for the credentials. This is
normally the name of a credential helper with possible
arguments, but may also be an absolute path with arguments or, if
preceded by `!`, shell commands.
+
Note that multiple helpers may be defined. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7]
for details and examples.
credential.useHttpPath::
When acquiring credentials, consider the "path" component of an http
or https URL to be important. Defaults to false. See
linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information.
credential.username::
If no username is set for a network authentication, use this username
by default. See credential.<context>.* below, and
linkgit:gitcredentials[7].
credential.<url>.*::
Any of the credential.* options above can be applied selectively to
some credentials. For example "credential.https://example.com.username"
would set the default username only for https connections to
example.com. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for details on how URLs are
matched.
credentialCache.ignoreSIGHUP::
Tell git-credential-cache--daemon to ignore SIGHUP, instead of quitting.
credentialStore.lockTimeoutMS::
The length of time, in milliseconds, for git-credential-store to retry
when trying to lock the credentials file. Value 0 means not to retry at
all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e., retry for
1s).
