Allow tuning wp-ai-client connect timeout

[chubes4]

Summary

• Adds a wp_ai_client_connect_timeout Data Machine setting and datamachine_wp_ai_client_connect_timeout filter so provider connection timeouts can be tuned independently from full request timeouts.
• Applies Data Machine request options to both the resolved wp-ai-client model and the prompt builder, preventing WordPress core's builder defaults from overwriting connect timeout.
• Applies the resolved connect timeout to WordPress HTTP's cURL handle via CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, because core's WP_AI_Client_HTTP_Client maps only total timeout from RequestOptions into WP HTTP args.
• Extends the wp-ai-client timeout smoke test to cover model-level, builder-level, and cURL connect-timeout handling.

Testing

• php tests/wp-ai-client-request-timeout-smoke.php — 25 assertions
• php -l inc/Engine/AI/RequestBuilder.php && php -l tests/wp-ai-client-request-timeout-smoke.php && git diff --check
• Local Studio validation on intelligence-chubes4:
  • confirmed explicit openai/gpt-5.4 model creation does not call /models with the php-ai-client hotfix present
  • set datamachine_settings.wp_ai_client_connect_timeout=120
  • confirmed Data Machine direct dispatch sees connect_timeout=120
  • confirmed cURL timeout failures changed from 30s to 120s after the cURL hook, proving the setting is applied to the active transport path

Notes

• This complements Avoid listing models for explicit text model IDs WordPress/php-ai-client#231. Data Machine can cache successful model-list responses, but it cannot fully avoid first-call /models lookups for explicit model IDs; that upstream behavior needs the php-ai-client fix.
• The remaining large-lane MGS failures appear to be provider/runtime latency under broad fan-out, not the original /models metadata lookup issue.

AI assistance

• AI assistance: Yes
• Tool(s): OpenCode (GPT-5.5)
• Used for: Drafting the Data Machine patch, smoke coverage, local Studio validation commands, and PR description; Chris remains responsible for review and testing.
