Orchestrator - Unlimited Timeout at the block level

Use Case - A data analysis or stasis block run or content processing can take hours or days to complete. We just need it to complete whenever it can and we can remediate those that hang for "too long" (say a month). Guesstimating the number of seconds to put in that block's timeout can be nerve wracking and take multiple attempts. Even putting 1 week of seconds into it to make a de facto unlimited has not worked for us.

    Per conversation with Michael Eng, the goal is very simple. Allow a user to put "0" in the timeout box to indicate an infinite timeout since a 0s timeout is invalid or defaults to the system default.
