feat: allow cfg timeout to be overrided via kwargs

On startup, the `timeout` parameter is loaded from config and stored on
the base gitlab object instance. This instance parameter is used as the
timeout for all API requests (it's passed into the `session` object when
making HTTP calls).

This change allows any API method to specify a `timeout` argument to
`**kwargs` that will override the global timeout value. This was
somewhat needed / helpful for the `import_github` method.

I have also updated the docs accordingly.
