[Firebird-net-provider] Please remove exception in ConnectionTimeout

[<ch...@co...>]

In the database project that I've previously mention I had to write a persistance layer that wraps the Firebird.NET provider.  The reason is that I can write to my persistance layer for both Firebird and possibly SQLServer and other DB's.  A situation could arise whereby data could be obtained from disparate databases.

The problem is that SQLServer provider supports ConnectionTimeout and the Firebird provider throws an exception.  My request is that ConnectionTimeout rather than throw a runtime exeception to return 0 and use an Assert instead.

Once again I modified the provider to return 0 causing no behavioral changes to the provider but now my layer can work polymorphically.

Thanks,
Chris
