Allow setting request timeout

[FRosner]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We see requests getting stuck forever which blocks our app. The fix is to set a request timeout, which is not possible with the current APIs.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like the ability to provide a global timeout when creating the client, as well as the ability to override the timeout for each request.

        response = self._session.get(
            "{0}/api/v1/query".format(self._url),
            params={**{"query": query}, **params},
            verify=self._ssl_verification,
            timeout=self._timeout,
        )

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't think there are good alternatives. You gotta be defensive towards requests getting stuck.
