Will Jones 272e4103b2 feat: provide timeout parameter for merge_insert (#2378)
Provides the ability to set a timeout for merge insert. The default
underlying timeout is however long the first attempt takes, or if there
are multiple attempts, 30 seconds. This has two use cases:

1. Make the timeout shorter, when you want to fail if it takes too long.
2. Allow taking more time to do retries.

## Properties
### timeoutMs?
```ts
optional timeoutMs: number;
```
Maximum time to run the operation before cancelling it.
By default, there is a 30-second timeout that is only enforced after the
first attempt. This is to prevent spending too long retrying to resolve
conflicts. For example, if a write attempt takes 20 seconds and fails,
the second attempt will be cancelled after 10 seconds, hitting the
30-second timeout. However, a write that takes one hour and succeeds on the
first attempt will not be cancelled.
When this is set, the timeout is enforced on all attempts, including the first.
