Add timeout parameter for LMS operations to Squeezebox

[peteS-UK]

Proposed change

Currently, the Squeezebox integration uses a default 5 second timeout for LMS API operations. This PR add a config option flow item to allow this to be configured.

WIP as it requires an underlying library fix, tests and doc update.

Pull request overview

Adds a configurable LMS request timeout option for the Squeezebox integration and wires it into multiple player control calls to better handle slow LMS/network environments.

Changes:

• Introduces a new options-flow setting lms_timeout (default 5s) for LMS request timeouts.
• Passes the configured timeout into multiple pysqueezebox player command calls via safe_library_call.
• Updates integration translations/options UI strings related to the new timeout setting.

File	Description
homeassistant/components/squeezebox/strings.json	Adds options-flow label/description for lms_timeout and introduces a new exception string.
homeassistant/components/squeezebox/media_player.py	Reads lms_timeout from config entry options and supplies it to many player commands; adds extra safety wrapping for some calls.
homeassistant/components/squeezebox/const.py	Defines CONF_LMS_TIMEOUT and DEFAULT_LMS_TIMEOUT.
homeassistant/components/squeezebox/config_flow.py	Adds lms_timeout to the options schema and suggests current/default values in the options form.

[Copilot]

The new lms_timeout option is applied to async_load_url(...) here, but other LMS calls in the same code path (e.g., async_load_playlist(...) and the custom async_query calls used by the services) still use the library default timeout. Consider applying the same configured timeout consistently to all LMS requests to match the option’s description.
