Consider better `timeout` handling to optimize all parts of Hop

[shanefontaine]

Consider a more robust mental model for how long a timeout should be for various situations (RPC calls, web2 service calls, etc.). Could possibly dramatically increase TPS.

Possible Implementation

Strict timeout for tx lifecycle stuff that affects TPS and less-strict for non-tx lifecycle

Considerations

• Different RPC providers have different speeds and handling them all might be impossible.
• A long timeout (seconds) could block the bonder and we should not allow that.
• Linea’s (Infura) RPC took 7s and 9s for two respective txs during their quest…

hello, shane and team, i got what seems a fake interview for your hop protocol. i did some reasearch do, and i wonder.. is this still an issue? also, is worth noticing that a had some strugle to find where to contribute some posible optmizations, my coding is done mostly by vibing with llms on math subjects and then i try to apply it at different projects, we have come to some code snipets that might well serve as contribution here and other projects
