resolved: lengthen timeout for TCP transactions

When we are doing a TCP transaction the kernel will automatically resend
all packets for us, there's no need to do that ourselves. Hence:
increase the timeout for TCP transactions substantially, to give the
kernel enough time to connect to the peer, without interrupting it when
we become impatient.
