Add persistent connection timeout settings to ansible.cfg

Configure global timeouts for Ansible persistent connections to prevent
netconf socket failures during long-running operations.

This addresses timeout issues where network device connections (netconf)
close after the default 30-second timeout, causing "socket path does not
exist" errors during switch configuration tasks that include operational
pauses.

Settings:
- connect_timeout: 300 seconds
- command_timeout: 300 seconds
