Relax timeout for sending activities (#4864)

Browse source 
* Relax timeout for sending activities

Lemmy considers timeouts during activity sending as retryable errors.
While it is frequently enough to retry sending the same activity again after
the original submission attempt resulted in a timeout, allowing the receiving
side to use more time for synchronous processing should reduce the number of
retries needed overall and improve overall compatibility.

Some ActivityPub software, such as Mastodon, implements a queue for processing
received activities asynchronously, which allows immediately returning a
response for activity submissions. Other software, such as Lemmy or Hubzilla
implement synchronous processing of activities before returning a response.

ActivityPub does not specify specific timeouts to be used:
