Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#25950: test: fix test abort for high timeout values (and --timeout-factor 0)

14302a4 test: fix test abort for high timeout values (and `--timeout-factor 0`) (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  On master, the functional tests's option `--timeout-factor 0` (which according to the test docs and parameter description should disable the RPC timeouts) currently fails, same as high values like `--timeout-factor 999999`:
  ```
  $ ./test/functional/wallet_basic.py --timeout-factor 0

  OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
  ```
  This is caused by a high timeout value that Python's HTTP(S) client library can't cope with. Fix this by clamping down the connection's set timeout value in AuthProxy. The change can easily be tested by running an arbitrary test with `--timeout-factor 0` on master (should fail), on this PR (should pass) and on this PR with the clamping value increased by 1 (should fail).

  // EDIT: The behaviour was observed on OpenBSD 7.1 and Python 3.9.12.
