Description
### Brief summary
The grpc k6 tests, specifically with stream connection, are a bit special as we can't really use k6 test iterator and all test execution happens in a single test iteration.
The test iteration only completes when grpc connection is closed, means all test workload should happen inside js iteration (for loop for ex).
This makes test duration none deterministic and test run completes with never finished iteration.
Unfortunately the `Timeout` parameter in the `connect` method doesn't work and there seems to be no way to gracefully finish test.
### k6 version
v0.56.0
### OS
macos
### Docker version and image (if applicable)
_No response_
### Steps to reproduce the problem
1. Have timeout set in the grpc client connect
```import grpc from "k6/net/grpc";
import { check } from "k6";
const client = new grpc.Client();
client.load(["./src/support/echo/server"], "helloworld.proto");
export default function () {
client.connect("127.0.0.1:9999", { plaintext: true, timeout: 1 });
const response = client.invoke("helloworld.Greeter/SayHello", {
name: "Tiko",
});
check(response, {
"status is OK": (res) => res && res.status === grpc.StatusOK,
"response message exists": (res) => res && res.message,
});
console.log(`Response: ${JSON.stringify(response.message)}`);
client.close();
}
```
2. Run test
```
(base) tiko@tiko-workstation k6 % ./k6 run 1.test.js

```
### Expected behaviour
grpc connection timeouts before server response. Notice response is 2s
### Actual behaviour
Timeout parameter is no considered. There is no way to make client terminate connection and for test iteration to complete.
