This PR adds the possibility to timeout the SSE connection. It is now possible to fail as soon as an event-free timeout is not reached, making it easier to detect a lost connection.

For a real world example: I've an app connected to a server. It sends a ping at a keepalive interval. I've a job checking from time to time that everything works as expected (using a worker, so the period is 15min, the minimum). It happens that the connection is lost at the beginning of this interval, therefore the users are disconnected for several minutes.

With this PR we can directly catch a lost connection: https://codeberg.org/NextPush/nextpush-android/commit/f6edb178ddee8255e9de6e548ea75f5d3eb6b32a

PS: I've also added some comments, but I can remove this commit from the branch

From Call, I think there is a convention on timeout names. Such as readTimeoutMillis. So perhaps receiveTimeoutMillis?

I wonder if we should prefer Kotlin Duration here also?

Internally we use callTimeout in RealEventSource to track establishment, and it's obviously an existing top level think in OkHttp which extends to the end of a request.

I'm a bit nervous about reusing call.timeout() here. I guess two reasons

  1. it isn't clear we are the owner of it, perhaps some other component or an interceptor is using it.
  2. the casting seems unsafe, but if we create it, we know the type and can set the duration ourselves.
