Deprecate maxRetryTimeout in RestClient and increase default value (e…

…lastic#38425)

This commit deprecates the `maxRetryTimeout` settings in the low-level REST client, and increases its default value from 30 seconds to 90 seconds. The goal of this is to have it set higher than the socket timeout so that users get as few listener timeouts as possible.

Relates to elastic#38085
