If a remote server fails to respond during the early SSH protocol
phases then the ssh_sftp:start_channel call will hang for as long as
the server keeps the TCP connection alive, regardless of the values of
the timeout or connect_timeout options.

A fake hanging server can be found here:

This patch passes the Timeout through to ssh:connect. In case the
timeout occurs during these phases, {error, timeout} is returned.
