Currently, no timeout values are set when sending HTTP requests to external SWH servers (for instance swh-indexer).
As the Python requests module does not set any timeout values by default, this can result in code hanging for minutes
or more in client applications (for instance in swh-web when requesting filetype, language or license when one wants
to display a content).
Being able to set timeout values to use within the SWHRemoteAPI class through configuration would be a nice feature
to have.
