Kevin Bradenstein 41c4af0d0d allow a printer to raise the default status timeout ...

The PT-E560BT stays busy about 2.2 s after even an 8 mm label, so the
1 second default timeout cannot succeed on a job sent straight after
another: printing five chained labels gives a strip carrying three of
them. ptouch-print reports the timeout and exits non-zero correctly every
time, but no amount of waiting helps when the default is below the
printer's fixed overhead.

Add a trailing min_timeout to the device table. Every other row keeps its
initialiser and gets 0, which resolves to the old default of 1; only the
E560BT carries a value. An explicit --timeout always wins.

Raising the global default would also be defensible: ptouch_getstatus()
returns as soon as the status arrives, measured 0.13 s with --timeout 30
against 0.14 s with --timeout 1, so a higher ceiling costs nothing on a
printer that is ready. But that is a judgement about printers I do not
have, so this keeps it to the one that was measured.
