When adding a port forwarding via UPnP, pyrogenesis first needs to discover the internet gateway to create the forwarding at. To do so, it utilizes miniupnpc to send an SSDP request and waits 10 seconds until it processes the responses and continues to add the port forwarding. As that happens asynchronously it means if players hosting games rely on UPnP for port forwarding and if their pyrogenesis instance doesn't have the address of their internet gateway cached, it takes more than 10 seconds after starting to host a game, before players can join. However, waiting for 10 seconds is completely unnecessary, because the internet gateway responds immediately to the SSDP request. Therefore, this commit reduces the time to wait for responses from 10 seconds to 2 seconds, which is the timeout miniupnpc uses internally as well, when discovering internet gateways.
