Add setting for electron request timeout, currently 10000ms, used when installing extensions #258236

Description

@chrisinmtown

I'd like to install VS Code extensions like Copilot and Python. The network path traverses a corporate proxy server that performs various scans etc. before it relinquishes any data. This process results in a 60+ second "stall" at the start of the download. VS Code always gives up after 10 seconds. A sample error is shown next:

2025-06-24 16:06:52.654 [error] [Window] Request timeout after 10000ms: Error: Request timeout after 10000ms
at Timeout.<anonymous> (file:///Applications/Visual%20Studio%20Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-utility/sharedProcess/sharedProcessMain.js:116:27676)
at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:588:17)
at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:523:7)
2025-06-24 16:06:54.684 [trace] [Network] 

Please expose the 10000ms setting so it could be increased as needed. Thanks in advance for considering this.
