Add timeout for rexec's get_password (sonic-net#3484)
### What I did I added a timeout setting for the get_password function in rexec module so that automatic pipelines that does not expect password input will not get blocked. The current timeout setting is 10 sec. #### How I did it Add a SIGALRM signal before waiting for password input. #### How to verify it Run a "show ip bgp summary" on SONiC Chassis Supversior and does not input password until it times out. #### Previous command output (if the output of a command-line utility has changed) Before adding such a mechanism, if you do not input password when run "rexec -c <cmd>" you will be blocked at the following output: ``` Since the current device is a chassis supervisor, this command will be executed remotely on all linecards Password for username 'XXX': ``` #### New command output (if the output of a command-line utility has changed) After adding such a mechanism, if you do not input password when run "rexec -c <cmd>" you will see a timeout message after 10 seconds. ``` Since the current device is a chassis supervisor, this command will be executed remotely on all linecards Password for username 'XXX': Aborted! Timeout when waiting for password input. ```
