Title: Default localhost when no DALISERVERS

On ECL Agent (local runs, compiled ECL code and others), when parameter DALISERVERS not specified, I assume localhost is intended. This is normally what's expected for tests and local runs anyway, and the user can still specify the parameter.

I'm reducing the timeout considerably, so the user realises that there's something wrong before the default timeout, that (I believe) is 1 minute. I'm also printing a warning on the logfile, just to make sure the user is aware of our change.

If we want to do the same for all others, I could change in ```mp``` directly, for any connection to default to local host. But that would have major consequences in error reporting, workflows and lots of other things we don't want to change. So, if that's the case, I suggest we do the same change in other components.

The code was mirrored from ```wutest.cpp```, for the same purpose.
