Description:
It is very inconvenient to compile 5.7 sources if someone uses slow connection, because due to TIMEOUT, set to 600 seconds at line 160, is too small.

How to repeat:
Compile MySQL 5.7 on computer with slow connection without Boost installed

Suggested fix:
Make timeout configurable

Noted in 5.7.6 changelog.

For a slow network connection, the timeout for downloading Boost (600 
seconds) could be too short. A new CMake option,
DOWNLOAD_BOOST_TIMEOUT, is now available to configure the timeout.
