This PR documents the new settings.queryTimeout database configuration option: a configurable maximum query time, in milliseconds, that cancels query-builder and Document Service queries on PostgreSQL and MySQL/MariaDB instead of letting them hold a pooled connection indefinitely. It adds the parameter to the settings table and a dedicated "Query timeouts" section covering configuration, supported databases, caveats (streams, direct connection queries, schema sync, and migrations are not covered), and boot-time validation of the value.
