Summary: No timeout on reading messages.

Initial Comment:
If a PostgreSQL server dies, the connection to the server will remain open, and the driver will continue to read [nothing] from the wire until an exception is raised, which may be never.

As a quick fix, if no *data* is read in a user configurable interval, raise a timeout exception.

Eventually, it would be best for such code to find it's way into the Passive buffer code so that C's speed could be taken advantage of.
