We're seeing occasional test timeouts trying to call FlutterDriver.connect().
Unfortunately, when the test is timed out at the test runner level, you don't
get a meaningful test failure or stack trace of where the timeout occurrred.
Your test harness also doesn't get to clean up, which can include things like
saving the device logs to see what was going on in the device.

Thuss, this change adds configurable timeouts in the places where we've most
commonly observed hangs during tests.

.timeout does not cancel the original Future (futures cannot be cancelled in general). So after it times out the connection function will continue attempting to connect. If you look at the implementation of the default connection function _waitAndConnect it already has a timeout. It's just hard-coded to _kLongTimeout. A more robust strategy might be to customize that timeout value.
