net: increase network family autoselection timeout to 500ms

The current 250ms timeout is too short for high-latency network
environments, causing connection failures in IPv4-only networks when
connecting to dual-stack hosts. This increases the timeout to 500ms
to better handle satellite, cellular, and geographically distant
connections.

The timeout should be reconsidered when parallel connections are
implemented as per RFC 8305.
