[issue2450] urllib2.Request constructor has no timeout parameter

[John J Lee]

New submission from John J Lee <jjlee at users.sourceforge.net>:

r55792 added timeout support to urllib2.  A timeout parameter was added
to urllib2.OpenerDirector.open(), but there is no corresponding Request
constructor parameter.  timeout is unique in that respect.  Instead,
OpenerDirector.open() sets req.timeout on request instances.  The
parameter "timeout" should behave in the same way as existing parameter
"data".
