FEAT: Adding timeout attribute

[jahnvi480]

Work Item / Issue Reference

AB#34910

---

Summary

This pull request adds support for per-connection query timeouts to the MSSQL Python driver. Now, you can set a timeout value on a connection, either at creation or later, and all cursors created from that connection will enforce this timeout for query execution. The changes include updates to the connection and cursor classes, integration with the underlying driver, and comprehensive tests for the new functionality.

Query Timeout Support

• Added a timeout parameter to the Connection class and the connect function, allowing users to specify a query timeout (in seconds) when establishing a database connection. The timeout can also be set or updated via a property on the Connection object.
• Implemented getter and setter for the timeout property in the Connection class, including input validation and documentation. Setting the timeout updates all subsequently created cursors.
• Modified the cursor method in Connection to pass the current timeout value to each new Cursor instance.
• Updated the Cursor class to accept a timeout parameter and, if set, apply it to each query execution using the underlying driver’s statement attribute API.
• Exposed the SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT constant and the DDBCSQLSetStmtAttr function in the C++ driver bindings to support setting the timeout at the driver level.

Testing and Validation

• Added comprehensive tests to verify default timeout behavior, setting and getting the timeout property, passing timeout via the constructor, enforcing timeout on long-running queries, and ensuring that updating the connection timeout affects all new cursors.

• Added timeout parameter to Connection class and connect function with proper validation
• Implemented timeout enforcement in cursor execute/executemany methods using SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT
• Exposed necessary C++ driver bindings for setting statement attributes
