Fix error in WiFiClient.cpp where the connect function fails for timeouts below 1 second (#7686)

* Update WiFiClient.cpp

This change will allow specifying connect timeouts below 1 second. Without this change, if connect timeouts under 1 second are given, the connect defaults to 0ms and fails. 
This will also allow timeouts in fractions of seconds, e.g. 1500ms. Without this change, connect timeouts are truncated to full second increments.

* Make parameter timeout_ms clear

* Change connection timeout_ms name for clarity
