dev_4_4: Update upgrade check handling in OMERO.web

This pull requests updates the base socket timeout semantics of the OMERO.py upgrade check and allows for upgrade check configurability in OMERO.web. OMERO tickets addressed include:
* `#12097` (https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/12097)

To test timeouts, you will need a merge build with the changes included. Running under `bin/omero shell`:

```python
from omero.util.upgrade_check import UpgradeCheck
from datetime import datetime

uc = UpgradeCheck('omero', url='http://134.36.64.142/')
print datetime.now()
uc.run()
print datetime.now()
```

`134.36.64.142` is a University of Dundee firewalled IP address that can be used for internal or external testing. Default timeouts should be in the neighbourhood of 3 seconds. Example output:

```
$ bin/omero shell

```

If needed the timeout can be adjusted and checked (example is a timeout of 10 seconds) by using:

```python
...
uc = UpgradeCheck('omero', timeout=10.0, url='http://134.36.64.142/')
...
```

OMERO.web upgrade check configurability can also be tested with a merge build. Running under `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:lib/python/omeroweb bin/omero shell`:

```python
from omeroweb.webadmin.webadmin_utils import upgradeCheck
from datetime import datetime

print datetime.now()
upgradeCheck()
print datetime.now()
```

Disabled upgrade checks should return instantly. Example output:

```
$ bin/omero config set omero.upgrades.url ''
$ bin/omero config get
omero.upgrades.url=
$ DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:lib/python/omeroweb bin/omero shell
