Gateway only: Ensure launch and request timeouts are in sync (jupyter…

…#5317)

Prior to this change, the request timeout for a Gateway request
was synchronized with KERNEL_LAUNCH_TIMEOUT only if KLT 
was greater. However, the two are closely associated and KLT 
should be adjusted if the configurable request_timeout is greater. 
This change ensures that the two values are synchronized to the
greater value. It changes the two configurable timeouts to default
to 40 (to match that of KLT) and removes the 2-second pad, 
since that wasn't helpful and only confused the situation.

These changes were prompted by this issue: jupyter-server/enterprise_gateway#792
