First it should be added to pytest_addoption and pytest_configure,
then new hooks for pytest_sessionstart and pytest_sessionfinish would
need to be added to do something similar to what timeout_setup does
now.  There are some edge cases to thing about, like how to deal with
both global and the current timeouts etc.
