RHV_CREATEDISK_TIMEOUT option for NetBackup servers

This option specifies the timeout period for creating a virtual disk during the restore of an RHV VM. If the RHV VM with a large pre-allocated disk was backed up and then restored on a file storage such as NFS, then the disk creation function can time out before the restored virtual disk is fully realized.
