Use correct default value for templateRefreshTimeout

The correct recommended default is 600s, not 1800s. 1800s is the
recommended default for templateLifeTime (3 times
templateRefreshTimeout).

We also update the UDP collector process to timeout the client after
templateLifeTime instead of templateRefreshTimeout. This makes more
sense as templateLifeTime is a collector process configuration
parameter, while templateRefreshTimeout is for the exporter process.
