Allows a timeout, in milliseconds, to be passed as an optional parameter to WiFiClient.connect().
Currently this is a blocking function which can take up to 20 seconds to return if the server isn't responding.
Incidentally, the 'normal' timeout will trigger an error at the usual time so behaviour is unchanged if a timeout isn't provided! (Unfortunately, it will also trigger if the provided timeout is longer; timeout duration is therefore effectively capped at whatever it is normally.) Ideally this would be overriden. Also, a defined default value might be more a better approach (see initial commit for eg.).
Perhaps using setTimeout would be a better way to set the value. That would leave signatures unchanged and only require setting the value once, instead of tacking it on to every connect().
