Issue:
Timeout during IAS API requests
While creating a security context for IAS, the API requests made to IAS times out. The current timeout is 2s.

Endpoints that currently timeout-
1. `/.well-known/openid-configuration`
2. `verification_key_url`

This happens mostly in AP regions where IAS broker and main tenant are in different DC's.

Increasing the timeout(5s) or making it flexible to set it from outside will help to make this problem better.

Code - https://github.com/SAP/cloud-pysec/blob/de3cff1b5dd6930091bde36c7a691634a037cb52/sap/xssec/constants.py#L13
