Custom timeout for requests

[ckeshava]

High Level Overview of Change

Certain requests could take more time to return a response, than the default 10 seconds duration. This change allows users to specify a custom timeout parameter to all requests. Additionally, this PR sets up uniform interfaces for all Client._request_impl overridden functions.

Context of Change

In the present code, all requests are given 10 seconds duration to return a response. Any longer latency results in a timeout. This is inconvenient for certain commands that are known to take up more time, for instance, admin-only commands like the ledger command.

Did you update CHANGELOG.md?

• [x] Yes
• [ ] No, this change does not impact library users

Test Plan

This is an existing integration test that invokes the ledger command at tests/integration/reqs/test_ledger.py. Which other command might take up more time?
