added context timeout configuration for API requests

Proposed changes

Add the ability to configure the context timeout period for API requests. Currently it is hardcoded to 10 seconds. Added a configuration parameter to override this value.

Looks like this can close #205

I don't believe it can. I think in that case, you would have to extend the client calls to have a context parameter that can be passed. That is a far bigger change than this PR. This only allows the consumer of this client to add their own configuration setting.

I guess that's true...if you want the granularity of a per-call timeout, then this doesn't satisfy that.
