PR Description
Update the default timeout of getPayload to 2s. In our testing, that was enough to increase the successful requests even under stress scenarios (e.g. higher blob count).
At this moment, I am not adding a CLI flag to configure this. I'll plan something for the new Engine API client that will be introduced soon.

Note
Low Risk
Small, isolated timeout change for a specific set of RPC calls; main risk is slightly longer waits before failing when the execution client is unresponsive.
