Implement hard timeout #35

If it takes more than 5 seconds to download a miniscule file from https://gentoo.org/.well-known/openpgpkey/ then something has gone dreadfully wrong. Most commonly, what went wrong is that the user has broken ipv6 connectivity and requests simply hangs forever (no joke -- it doesn't implement Happy Eyeballs and closed the multiple bug reports as "please use stackoverflow to ask questions about how to use requests, we are not a support forum"). Pass a timeout so that we eventually give up and try ipv4 instead. This is a crude hack and the proper solution is to make gemato handle this better, but until gemato is fixed to use a better download library we do the best we can. Bug: psf/requests#6788 Bug: projg2/gemato#35 Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/779766

Unfortunately, a098d83 (#26) appears insufficient. I've observed this a bunch of times and poked a tiny bit more yesterday. Users hit it when our sks instances on infra freeze up, etc.
It appears that gpg doesn't commit to having the timeout work in all cases, see https://dev.gnupg.org/T3893:
Accordingly, I think we need a hard timeout from the Python side when invoking gpg.
