Motivation for this change
In the current implementation, there's no possibility to modify the default
parameter for keepalive. This is a number that indicates how frequently
keepalive messages should be sent from the worker to the buildmaster,
expressed in seconds. The default (600) causes a message to be sent to
the buildmaster at least once every 10 minutes.
If the worker is behind a NAT box or stateful firewall, these messages
may help to keep the connection alive: some NAT boxes tend to forget about
a connection if it has not been used in a while. When this happens, the
buildmaster will think that the worker has disappeared, and builds will
time out. Meanwhile the worker will not realize than anything is wrong.
