Ability to specify a timeout for a REST API endpoint

[ffxsam]

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to configure a timeout value for a REST API endpoint. Currently the default is 0, which isn't a great idea, as users will be stuck loading indefinitely if there's a network issue.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only workaround is to pass a timeout with every call, e.g.:

    const data = await RestAPI.get('private', '/tracks', {
      queryStringParameters: {
        omit: 'name_tok,metadata_tok',
        folder_id: folderId,
      },
      timeout: 10000,
    });

IMO a sensible implementation of this could look like this:

RestAPI.configure({
  endpoints: [
    {
      name: 'endpoint1',
      endpoint: 'xxx',
      timeout: 10000,
    },
  ],
});

Hey, @ffxsam 👋. Wanted to ping you on this issue to see if you've had a chance to see the related #13426. If we were to implement the feature of timeouts for REST API's, would that issue's success criteria accommodate what you're looking for here? I think the main piece of this issue's feature request is to have the timeout be a config option rather than needing to have to make it on every API call.

We just want to make sure we're capturing all aspects here! Thanks.

Hey @cwomack! I appreciate the update. I'm no longer using REST API (moved to GraphQL/AppSync), and we're using TanStack Query, so that's handling auto retries for us.
