Previously, a timeout (in int64 nanoseconds) applied to a granularity even smaller than one operation: a 100 byte read with a 1 second timeout could take 100 seconds, if the bytes all arrived on the network 1 second apart. This was confusing. Rather than making the timeout granularity be per-Read/Write, this CL makes callers set an absolute deadline (in time.Time) after which operations will fail. This makes it possible to set deadlines at higher levels, without knowing exactly how many read/write operations will happen in e.g. reading an HTTP request.
