Re: Client Connection Parameters

Issue Description

Add connect_timeout property, with information on defaults as well as an example to override for each application.

Suggested Resolution

default for connect_timeout is 15 seconds, at least in 19.2.4. To override for each application, use connect_timeout in the connection string. Here's a psycopg2 example conn = psycopg2.connect(host="localhost", port=port, database = "mydb", user="xxx", connect_timeout=10)

Oh, I meant check back in mid-October 😄 I need time to publicize the issues and want to give folks time to evaluate them.
