config: Increase default token timeout to 3000 ms

Description

config: Increase default token timeout to 3000 ms

Default token timeout of 1000 ms was often changed by users because of
other workloads on machine which may make corosync responding a bit
later than needed and resulting in token loss.

3000 ms was chosen as a compromise between token timeout increase
and allow live cluster upgrade (other nodes should receive token
by node with new default on time).

It doesn't affect token token_coefficient so final token timeout still
depends on number of configured nodes (just base is higher).

This change slows down failover a bit so for clusters where failover
times are important, please change the token timeout in configuration
file corosync.conf as a:

totem {

version: 2
token: 1000
