Description

Fix tuning job timeout to properly cancel job if time is exceeded

Related Issues

closes #464

Additional Notes

Using asyncio.wait_for will only timeout if the calling function yields control back to the caller, typically with some IO operation. Tuning is heavily CPU bound, after the initial queries. By converting the call to run the tuning operations in a separate thread, we can still enforce a timeout if the process takes too long.
