gh-ost currently does not pass a timeout or context to the HTTP client in go/logic/throttler.go

The lack of a timeout can theoretically cause the ticker-loop in .collectThrottleHTTPStatus() to block for a response indefinitely

Passing a context.Context to the net/http client will allow slow calls to an HTTP throttler service (eg: github/freno) to timeout instead of block the loop. A PR is on the way 👍
