Would a variable in a collection for reboot timeout be useful in collections like [Crypto Policies - handlers](https://github.com/linux-system-roles/crypto_policies/blob/main/handlers/main.yml) ?

Rebooting a big rack server can take longer than the default timeout. Just checking interest, should be a simple PR?

Example

```auto
- name: Reboot the managed host to apply crypto policies changes
  reboot:
     reboot_timeout: "{{ override_reboot_timeout | default(omit) }}"
  listen: __crypto_policies_handler_modified
  when:
    - crypto_policies_reboot_required | d(false)
    - crypto_policies_reboot_ok | d(false)

```
