If petitboot-nc starts before the discover server it will try to
connect for a short while waiting for the server to appear. However in
some scenarios the server can take longer than expected to come up, for
example if the kernel is compiled with modules and the system has many
disks, and the process will timeout and exit before the server is ready.
The UI does not appear during this time so it can appear as if Petitboot
failed to start at all.
Change the default behaviour to start the UI first, and then wait for
the server to appear. The UI will not timeout in this mode. The
"--timeout" option is added to start with the old behaviour.
