New-VdcCertificate -Timeoutsec

[wilddev65]

Environment

Full Operating System: Windows 2022
VenafiPS version: 6.12.6
PowerShell version: 5.1
TLSPDC version (if applicable): 24.3

Steps to reproduce

Configure New-VdcCertificate to generate a new certificate object.
Optionally configure attributes using Set-VdcAttribute.
When using the default -Timeoutsec setting of 60 sec's, the creation will delay for that time period until complete even if you are just creating an object and using -NoWorkToDo to not initiate the certificate's enrollment. When creating bulk certificates, this slows down by a lot the processing.

Expected behavior

The Venafi default for this setting is 0 secs, not 60. It would be expected to instantly create the certificate in this instance.

Actual behavior

The creation of the object takes 60 sec's minimum

@wilddev65 setting this value to 0 works as expected? I'm thinking it makes more sense to remove the default in the module and only send the value if provided. This way the 'default' will be whatever value is set in product in the platforms tree and the TimeoutSec property can be used to override it.

I think that's the best way to handle it. Setting it to 0 worked how I expected.
