Description

The download option currently provides no way to set a timeout, so when a server misbehaves, it can take a long time before an error callback arrives.

The download timoeut should be configurable.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current download function in PapaParse and add a configurable timeout that aborts the request after a specified duration, triggering the error callback.
