http: set socket timeout when socket connects

`request.setTimeout()` calls `socket.setTimeout()` as soon as a socket
is assigned to the request. This makes the `timeout` event to be
emitted on the request even if the underlying socket never connects.

This commit makes `socket.setTimeout()` to be called only when the
underlying socket is connected.
