This commit replaces the default client from the http lib with a custom one. The previously used default client doesn't come with a timeout. This could cause unwanted locks. That solution chosen here creates a http client in the base component dendrite with a constant timeout of 30 seconds. If it should be necessary to overwrite this, we could include the timeout in the dendrite configuration. Here it would be a good idea to extend the type "Address" by a timeout and create an http client for each service.

Dendrite 
Dendrite will be a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go.
It's still very much a work in progress, but installation instructions can be found in INSTALL.md. It is not recommended to use Dendrite as a production homeserver at this time.
An overview of the design can be found in DESIGN.md.

Discussion
For questions about Dendrite we have a dedicated room on Matrix #dendrite:matrix.org. Development discussion should happen in #dendrite-dev:matrix.org.
Progress
There's plenty still to do to make Dendrite usable! We're tracking progress in a project board.
