The decision to deprecate socketTimeout was an error in aws/aws-sdk-js-v3#6763.

Socket timeout is a distinct concept from request timeout.
We refer to request timeout as total request time, but socket timeout is the socket's idle timeout.

For example, a long request that transfers a chunk of data every 250 milliseconds will never hit a socket timeout of 1000ms, but will eventually hit a request timeout of the same value given enough total time.
