Description

Allow VCL admins edit some of the timing values via the front-end.

Possible variables to allow edits are:
acknowledge timeout = time limit to wait on user to hit connect button
connect timeout = wait for user to connect for normal reservations
ignore_connections_gte = skip checks for durations gte X (24hrs is hardcoded in code)
general_inuse_check = how often to check on normal reservations
server_inuse_check = how often to check on server reservations
cluster_inuse_check = how often to check on cluster reservations

Some of these can easily be setup based on an affiliation, but others we may want to limit as a global setting such as general_inuse_check.

Need a page on the web portal for admins to set the values.

List of times for variable table and their default times being set in backend:
acknowledgetimeout => '900',
connecttimeout => '900',
wait_for_reconnect => '900',
general_inuse_check => '300',
server_inuse_check => '900',
cluster_inuse_check => '900',
general_end_notice_first => '600',
general_end_notice_second => '300',
ignore_connections_gte => '1440'
