Allow passing request-timeout from NewRequest all the way down

**What this PR does / why we need it**:
Currently if you pass `--request-timeout` it's not passed all the way down to the actual request object. There's a separate field on the `Request` object that allows setting that timeout, but it's not taken from that flag.

@smarterclayton @deads2k ptal, this is coming from openshift/origin#13701
