Timeout Option for Proxy Requests

[saeedesmaili]

I'm using youtube-transcript-api some socks5 proxies, which work mostly fine, but sometimes one of the proxies I use doesn't work and the request takes an infinite amount of time to finish or fail.

It would be nice to have some sort of timeout parameter to pass to the get_transcript function, so if the request takes longer than expected, we can do something about it (try another proxy in this case).

This should be easy to implement, as requests support timeout as kwarg.

Currently the maintainer has very limited time, and it seems that even if I make a PR, it will not get merged as better PR are in queue: #219 , #254

I suggest creating a fork and adding it yourself. You can except the requests.Timeout exception.
