Fix support for infinite ?master_timeout (#107050)
Specifying `?master_timeout=-1` on an API which performs a cluster state
update means that the cluster state update task will never time out
while waiting in the pending tasks queue. However this parameter is also
re-used in a few places where a timeout of `-1` means something else,
typically to timeout immediately. This commit fixes those places so that
`?master_timeout=-1` consistently means to wait forever.
