Allow setting CURL timeout from curl API command Previously the `timeout` option to the curl API command set only `CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT` -- the maximum amount of time that curl will wait to connect to the server. If the server accepted the connection but then never replied, curl would wait essentially forever. There was no way to set `CURLOPT_TIMEOUT` -- the maximum amount of time the entire request operation is allowed to take. With this change, the `timeout` option sets `CURLOPT_TIMEOUT`. We've earlier added a `connect-timeout` option to set `CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT`. This is a change to existing behavior. However, it's likely that this is what people expected it to do all along. The curl application call, for example, accepts both `curl_connect_timeout` and `curl_timeout` channel variables, with the latter setting `CURLOPT_TIMEOUT`. If people really were relying on this odd behavior, we'll rename the option with the new behavior to something else and come up with a transition plan.
