feat(octavia): make Helm timeout configurable

[Tadas Sutkaitis (fitbeard)]

What changed

• add octavia_helm_timeout with a five-minute default;
• use it for Octavia Helm operations;
• add a release note.

Why

Deployments that need more time had no supported way to extend the Helm operation timeout.

This production improvement is extracted from #4152 so it can be reviewed, released, and backported independently from selective CI.

Validation

• file-scoped pre-commit hooks passed;
• git diff --check passed;
• the repository-wide Ansible lint traversal reached all roles and only failed on the existing galaxy[no-changelog] metadata issue;
• Reno parsed the new note and only reported the repository's existing duplicate release-note UID.

Replace the escaped newline with a real line break

When Reno renders this YAML block scalar, the \n sequence is preserved literally because escapes are not interpreted inside |, so the published changelog displays long\n Helm instead of a naturally wrapped sentence. Replace it with an actual newline or keep the sentence on one line.

Document how operators configure the new timeout

A repo-wide search for octavia_helm_timeout finds only this default, its task use, and the release note, while roles/octavia/README.md remains an empty heading. Operators therefore have no documentation explaining where to override the variable or its accepted Go-duration format; add this new public setting to the role or deployment documentation.
