Network Timeout

Overview

The k_delayed_work API has a 1 ms accuracy for a timeout value, so the maximum timeout can be about 24 days. Some network timeouts are longer than this, so the net_timeout API provides a generic timeout mechanism that tracks such wraparounds and restarts the timeout as needed.
