task timeout failure should indicate timeout for programatic use

[sivel]

Summary

When using the timeout keyword, when a task fails due to timeout, we should provide a timeout or similar key in the task result. Right now it is just failed=True, msg=msg.

This is the msg

 msg = 'The %s action failed to execute in the expected time frame (%d) and was terminated' % (self._task.action, self._task.timeout)

Not sure what else is needed? a traceback? the time taken?

[sivel]

Instead of inspecting the msg, we should just add a new timeout=True or similar to the response.

The original ask was a new callback event, but we instead said we could just add a new key that can be inspected by the current callback events.
