Dear developers,

Calling `mokutil` with option `--timeout -1` is supposed to disable
MokManager's timeout, and if I understand correctly, wait indefinitely
for user input.

In practice, it does hide the countdown at the bottom of the screen, but
MokManager will still exit after 5 minutes.

If it's not a bug in MokManager, and the actual intended behavior, then
IMHO it should be clarified in mokutil's manual page.

Regards,
