For IMAP and SMTP we set both read and write timeout in connect_tcp_inner.

I opened an issue about the lack of API to set write timeout: seanmonstar/reqwest#2403
We may also switch to using hyper directly and establishing connections manually in the future as we already have generic code to handle IMAP and SMTP connection attempts and TLS session establishment, but for now this minimal change is good enough to fix the bug and allow Delta Chat to test multiple IP addresses from DNS response.
Before the fix HTTP client had no connection timeout, so it only had a chance to test one IPv6 and one IPv4 address if the first addresses timed out. Now it can test at least 4 addresses of each family and more if some addresses refuse connection rather than time out.
