    Increase timeout for reading data from resources to 30 seconds · 9acda8e4

    The introduction of LZMA compression for payloads can mean that when
    handling already-compressed attachments, especially those in large
    sizes, the default timeout of 10 seconds can be exceeded. This is
    particularly evident for machines with rotational disks or full disk
    encryption.
    
    This has particularly bad effects on item syncing:
    
    1. The resource retrieves an item, and starts compressing the payload.
    2. The compression takes more than 10 seconds, so the resource is
       disconnected from Akonadi due to the timeout.
    3. Upon reconnection, there is an attempt to rollback the change, but
       the change did not actually take place, so a bunch of errors
       regarding transactions are logged.
    4. The database for that resource and that collection is left in an
       inconsistent state.
    5. This can cause the resource to ultimately get stuck on its jobs.
    
    Fixing the actual problem is probably far more convoluted, but a quick
    workaround would be to increase the timeout up to 30 seconds, to stay on
    the safe side.
    
    This change was tested on a laptop with FDE that could not sync
    attachments larger than 5M: after the change, the syncing was performed
    sucessfully.
