WordPress Importer can time out on importing categories/tags

Description

The WordPress Importer does not set a time limit when importing categories and tags. This means the server's default time limit (30 seconds or whatever) is used. It's then easy to time out if you're importing a ton of categories and/or tags.

This isn't a problem for importing posts though as the timer is reset at the beginning of each post import.

The timer should either be removed or reset between each category/tag.

Is there a good reason for the importers to not just set_time_limit(0) at the start of them?

Fixed.

Only problems I ever encounter are memory issues, but the main way to sort that is to promote splitting of the files if they're too large (also see #15812, #5389).
