Add connect and read timeout configuration to the fetch request used in a Lambda function

Description

When using Lambda HTTP Connect we do not currently expose the read and connect timeouts. It is possible then to receive a connect timeout or a read timeout.

While in general, it is risky to make an HTTP request during a lambda function that is slow and may not be responsive - there are use cases where it may be tolerable or expected and increasing these timeouts may be valuable.

Solution

Allow connect and read timeout to be configured.

Example:

var response = fetch("https://acme.com/api/doWork", {
                                  method: "GET",
                                  connectTimeout: 42000,   // 42,000 ms, or 42 seconds
                                  readTimeout: 42000       // 42,000 ms, or 42 seconds
                                });

The default value for connectTimeout and readTimeout is 2000 ms or 2 seconds.
