Allow global timeout values.

[pilhuhn]

Currently restClient allows to set timeouts like this:

com.mycompany.remoteServices.MyServiceClient/mp-rest/connectTimeout

If an application uses many different remote providers, this needs to be provided for each such service.
It would be good if it would be possible to specify the timeouts on a global level, that is used if no individual value as above is given. Perhaps something like:

mp.restclient/connectTimeout=1000
mp.restclient/readTimeout=2000

@pilhuhn I think this is a great idea. Would you be willing to submit a PR for this proposal?

[pilhuhn]

Yes, will do

@pilhuhn We are triaging all of the Rest Client issues to plan for the next release. Did you create a PR for this? Can this be closed or is there still outstanding work to be done?
