Description

We should cover the new scaled timeout capability in the timeout FAQ: https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/faq/configuration/timeouts

We should probably also cover it in the edge best practices guide: https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/best_practices/edge#best-practices-edge

Contributor guide

Research direction
Read the existing timeout FAQ and edge best practices guide, then trace the scaled timeout implementation in the source code to document it.
