lint: cve: Set a connection timeout.

This (notably) works around the fact that nvd.nist.gov is currently
inaccessible over IPv6.

* guix/cve.scm (fetch-vulnerabilities): Add #:timeout and pass it to
'http-fetch/cached'.
(current-vulnerabilities): Add #:timeout and pass it to
'fetch-vulnerabilities'.
* guix/lint.scm (current-vulnerabilities*): Pass #:timeout to
'current-vulnerabilities'.
