Add a timeout for PyJWKClient requests (#875)

By default, the timeout for urlopen is socket._GLOBAL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT
which is None (meaning that the request never times out):

https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#socket.getdefaulttimeout

This change sets the timeout to 30 but also adds a timeout variable
users can set.
