feat: increase volume file upload timeout to 1 hour (#1248)

Increases the default timeout for volume `writeFile`/`write_file`
operations from 60 seconds to 1 hour in both the JS and Python SDKs.
Other volume operations retain the existing 60s default. Users can still
override via `requestTimeoutMs` (JS) or `request_timeout` (Python).
