Change the last sentence:

If this is 0, then there is no time out (use with caution, as guests
might not respond to a shutdown request).  (Hmm, maybe we want to
default to 300 [5 minutes], and document our non-zero default, so that
you have to explicitly request 0 to avoid timeouts.)

ACK with those lines added to shutdown_guests_parallel, and the wording
change to the config file, and with the optional change to the timeout
default.
