> Currently `HttpClient` will timeout if a server doesn't respond to a request which includes `Expect: 100-Continue`
> 
> Section 10.1.1 of [rfc 9110](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110#name-expect) states that
> 
> a client SHOULD NOT wait for an indefinite period before sending the content.
>

> 
> This PR changes `HttpClient` to wait for a maximum of 5 seconds for a server response, this will be shorter if a timeout is set. If no response is received, the message will be sent regardless. 
> This should bring `HttpClient` in line with how [HttpUrlConnection](https://github.com/DarraghClarke/jdk/blob/61386c199a3b29457c002ad31a23990b7f6f88fd/src/java.base/share/classes/sun/net/www/protocol/http/HttpURLConnection.java#L1305) treats expect continue timeouts.
> 
> This is done using `orTimeout` in the `expectContinue` method , though there is some changes in `streams.java` where it was possible for race conditions to cause timeouts where `CompleteableFuture`s were removed from `response_cfs` prematurely or in some cases not removed at all.
> 
> I've tested this against tiers 1-3 and it appears to be stable.
