Add short timeout to version check HTTP requests

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In case of low transfer speed to raw.githubusercontent.com, commands with --help argument hangs for a long time. This seem largely suspicious and unhelpful when dealing with --help commands.

Describe the solution you'd like
IIUC this HTTP requests are related to checking version of CLI. If that's the case, I think those requests should have some fixed deadline/timeout which when hit, may produce a warning message. Taking general slowness of Azure CLI, perhaps timeout of 500-1000 ms should not be that bad, comparing to my which was 80 seconds.

The best solution may be to make the REST service to support the timeout parameter first: if the request times out, the service will directly return the error message of timeout, so I transferred it to the service team.

Thanks for the feedback! We are routing this to the appropriate team for follow-up. cc @Drewm3, @avirishuv, @Vaibhav-Agar, @amjads1.

@yonzhan , @zhoxing-ms Passing back to you. VMSS REST API doesn't have calls/dependencies to github. This ticket is referring to calls to github, looks like to get CLI setup scripts:

urllib3.connectionpool: https://raw.githubusercontent.com:443 "GET /Azure/azure-cli/main/src/azure-cli-core/setup.py HTTP/1.1" 200 1246
urllib3.connectionpool: Starting new HTTPS connection (1): raw.githubusercontent.com:443
urllib3.connectionpool: https://raw.githubusercontent.com:443 "GET /Azure/azure-cli/main/src/azure-cli-telemetry/setup.py HTTP/1.1" 200 679

@zhoxing-ms Does this item still need compute service attention?
