 .maintenance files expire after 10 minutes if something goes wrong.  10
 minutes is a long time, when most upgrading operations are attempted and
 fail within 20-60 seconds.

 I propose three things:

 1. changing the default expiration to 5 minutes (300 seconds)
 2. Adding a filter to allow plugins and themes to filter this time to
 increase/decrease it
 3. Also, while I was in there, it seems prudent to attempt to delete the
 file if it has expired.  The only argument I could see against this is
 that possibly it might be expensive if the file can not be deleted and wp
 attempts to delete the file on every page load.  So I can take or leave 3
 (and 2), but #2 I think is really important.
