## Message

```
http_client: Bound GitHub release requests (#62175)

# Objective

- Stop language-server update checks from waiting forever.
**Note:** I tried to find any existing issue but no luck.

## Solution

- Set one time limit for the full response body. If the GitHub, for
example, release request stops responding, return an error. Do not let
it block language-server update checks without limit.

## Testing

- Did you test these changes? If so, how?

   1. This is a flaky issue, reproducing it is not that trivial.
2. The easiest way I found is just restarting Zed until you get the
notification in the status bar `Checking for updates
<language_server_naem>`

- Are there any parts that need more testing?

   No

- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?

   See above.

- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?

   - macOS
   - Linux
