[v8.x] update the http.request.setTimeout docs to be accurate
requested to merge github/fork/jbunton-atlassian/update_v8.x_docs_for_http_request_setTimeout into v8.x-staging
When upgrading from Node.js 8 to 10 I hit the behaviour change in #8895. This documentation update would have helped me find the problem faster :)
Also see #25121 for an update to the docs on master.
Thanks :)
