feat: add timeout validation to prevent DoS attacks

- Add InvalidTimeout error variant for comprehensive validation
- Implement validate_timeout function with security limits (1ms-300s)
- Integrate validation into peer_req_with_timeout macros
- Add comprehensive security tests for timeout validation
- Prevent DoS attacks through unreasonable timeout values
