When for whatever reason getting shipping rates from a USPS takes longer than the host HTTP server timeout the shipping selection breaks and checkout cannot proceed. This happens both when loading the order information page when an address has already been entered before, and when requesting rates via ajax when a complete address is entered or the recalculate button is clicked.
I experienced this due to the USPS API taking longer than 60 seconds to return rates due to infrastructure problems.
The USPS PHP API library this module depends upon sets a default timeout of 60 seconds which is way too long in the context we're using it.
Add a shorter timeout for rate requests. This requires changes to the USPS PHP API dependency which is abandoned so I am also including a patch for it while we work on finding a replacement (vinceg/usps-php-api).

Upstream was fixed in 📌 Dependency vinceg/usps-php-api is abandoned Fixed and it includes a default timeout now https://github.com/GeNyaa/USPS-php-api/blob/df1925e619f84e29cf09e012f39d...
This issue is no longer needed as the timeout is handled in the USPS PHP library
