Add a Window Timeout Field in the Command Editor, for Commands Marked as Opening a Window #1829

🚀 Feature Proposal

When a command is marked as opening a window, a text field should be available to specify the timeout for opening the window.
I have a sample implementation of the feature on a fork of the repo, available here

Motivation

I use Selenium IDE to test a website which occasionally has quite long page load times. As a consequence of this, the default 2 second timeout on opening a window is too short, and frequently causes tests to fail when they're actually fine. It's possible to change this behaviour by editing the .side file itself, but it's not exactly the cleanest way of doing it.

Example

You have a page that's going to take at least 2 seconds to load due to server-side rendering, and Selenium IDE is failing the test because it's taking too long. You change the timeout to a longer duration, using the window timeout field, and now it passes as expected - without having to manually tweak the .side file.
