I generally agree that it's a bit misplaced, but I don't see a way to 
encode it in the worker - the only info we have in check_worker and 
stop_task is the UPID, and I don't think it makes sense to encode a 
timeout in that? Or is there a way I'm not seeing to retrieve additional 
info about a worker from the UPID alone?

We could at least put the map in pve-manager, but I'm not sure if that's 
any better.
