Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(webhook-event-forwarder): add timeout and accept any
 2xx status code

- Add configurable timeout option (default 5 seconds) using AbortController
- Change from strict status === 202 check to response.ok (accepts any 2xx)
- Improve error messages to distinguish timeout vs other errors
- Add timeout configuration example to README

This fixes an issue where listeners would hang indefinitely if the webhook
endpoint became slow or unresponsive, especially after idle periods. The
strict 202 check also caused failures when webhooks returned 200 or 201.
