Handle search timeout in SuggestPhase (#122357)

Whenever a search timeout is set to a search request, the timeout may be triggered by the suggest phase via exitable directory reader. In that case, the exception that is thrown by the timeout check needs to be handled, instead of returned back to the user. Instead of handling the timeout in each phase, this commit handles it as part of QueryPhase for both SuggestPhase and RescorePhase. For rescore phase, one integration test that is time dependent is also rewritten to remove the time dependency and moved from QueryRescorerIT to SearchTimeoutIT. Closes #122186
