[14_1_X] Tier0Handler: add maxTime, improve cert warning

[JanChyczynski]

PR description:

Before this PR Tier0Handler was running a curl command using only the --connect-timeout flag which sets the timeout for connecting. If the connection is established but the server takes forever to respond, the command waits indefinitely. To avoid hung-up processes maxTime argument was added to Tier0Handler setting the --max-time flag. This flag sets the maximum time for the whole curl command.

Tier0Handler is used in the conddb command and the maxTime was set to 60 s, the connection timeout was left at 1 s.

Also, extends the warning information when the certificates are not provided with information about the X509_USER_CERT and X509_USER_KEY env variables.

This is a follow-up to #45779

PR validation:

Tested by running python3 tier0.py which is running the test for it and by running conddb showFSCR (for the latter scram b is needed beforehand).

The proper functionality of --connect-timeout and --max-time in Tier0Handler was tested by changing the T0 API URL using the TIER0_API_URL env variable to:

• http://localhost:8099/ and running nc -kl 8099 to test being able to connect but never receiving a response
• https://example.com:81/ to test the connection timeout
