Returns a Flowable that mirrors the source Publisher, but notifies Subscribers of a
{@code TimeoutException} if an item emitted by the source Publisher doesn't arrive within a window of
time after the emission of the previous item, where that period of time is measured by a Publisher that
is a function of the previous item.

Note: The arrival of the first source item is never timed out.

@param <V>
the timeout value type (ignored)
@param itemTimeoutIndicator
a function that returns a Publisher for each item emitted by the source
Publisher and that determines the timeout window for the subsequent item
@return a Flowable that mirrors the source Publisher, but notifies Subscribers of a
{@code TimeoutException} if an item emitted by the source Publisher takes longer to arrive than
the time window defined by the selector for the previously emitted item
