fix(agent): make title generation timeout configurable via auxiliary.title_generation.timeout

[Jay4242]

What does this PR do?

I was getting title generation timeouts due to the default being set to 30 seconds and my LLM backend being slow locally hosted hardware, which is often multitasking.

This PR should correct reading the timeout from the ~/.hermes/config.yml which I can now set to absurdly high timeouts to compensate for my slow hardware.

Changes Made

/agent/title_generator.py#L31 - timeout: float = 30.0, changed to timeout: Optional[float] = None,

/agent/title_generator.py#L46 - docstring extended with a paragraph about the timeout.

/tests/agent/test_title_generator.py#L116 - Test added.

How to Test

1. Run a local server that takes longer than 30 seconds to process a request.
2. Start a Hermes conversation until you see title generation timeout errors.
3. Make the change to timeout: Optional[float] = None,
4. Update the config.yml title generation timeout to a higher value.
5. Start a Hermes conversation until it creates a title.

This is good, it solves the issue and call_llm() defaults to _DEFAULT_AUX_TIMEOUT which is currently 30s anyway. This solves auxiliary title generation config is hardcoded to 30s and ignores config
