[Pacemaker] resource monitor priority - timeout on high load

I think it would be helpful, my load is definitely user-space.
My goal is for pacemaker to survive high user load, and not shut down
resources on monitoring timeouts, additionally resources should not be
restarted either, i.e. they have to be left alone, unless - of course -
there is a real resource failure.

Thanks,
