'connect-timeout' is possibly misleading

I would expect a library named connect-timeout
to enable the ability to time out a socket CONNECT request - something I believe that the node request
library does not currently offer, for example. I was surprised to learn it had more to do with timing out app requests.
This module comes from a long time ago, where everything connect-* was for the connect web framework. Changing a module's name is not trivial and of course all it will do is make two modules on npm: connect-timeout and whatever the new name is. Npm does not offer the ability to rename modules.
Fair enough! Yeah I don't know what would be better besides just merging support into the places that should have it
