Container sync might get stuck without a connection timeout if the remote proxy
is not responding.
This patch sets a default timeout of 5.0 seconds for the connection attempt. The
value is much higher than other connection timeouts inside Swift (0.5); however
there might be a much higher latency to the remote peer, thus playing it safe.
There is also a retry if the attempt timed out.
Note that this setting only applies to the connection request itself. Setting
this timeout does not apply when the remote proxy goes away during a request.
Also added a short test to ensure urlopen is called with the timeout value.
