Description

Describe the bug
The Zowe extender was trying to increase the read timeout via the configuration option described in the documentation. Unfortunately, neither option worked. It would be good to review these parameters.
parameter that didn't work:
customMetadata.apiml.readTimeout

https://docs.zowe.org/stable/extend/extend-apiml/custom-metadata/

What eventually helped:
Set a timeout for the entire gateway in Zowe.yaml -> apiml.connection.timeout

Note
Looks like readTimeout is no longer recognized by the gateway and was replaced by responseTimeout, which didn't help as well.

Expected behavior
The timeout requested by the service is honored, and only valid configuration properties are documented.

Research direction

Start with the custom metadata documentation page linked in the issue and trace how customMetadata.apiml.readTimeout, responseTimeout, and apiml.connection.timeout are handled by the gateway. Confirm which properties are valid and whether the service-requested timeout is honored, then update the documentation and add or adjust coverage for the supported behavior.
