smb: no discovery cap on file listing

Harald Sitter requested to merge work/smb-notimeout into release/20.08

File and share listing can take a very long time as they are IO bound on the remote, so if one is listing a large directory on a HDD it may well take minutes. Equally sending huge listings over the wire may take a while if not enough throughput is available. So don't cap the execution of these discoveries at all.

Server discovery retains the timeout, mostly because I don't want to remove it in 20.08 though an argument could be made that we should trust in the reliability of the discovery stacks to not get stuck on random unforseen misbehavior of servers.

BUG: 427644 FIXED-IN: 20.08.3
