This reverts commit bcc5f6b0f24e8ad0b03b8217e88a19ff3002c084.
bcc5f6b0f24e ("Override pldm response time out value") talks about
timeouts due to the endpoint taking some time to respond. However, the
net effect of the change is the response to a retried request races
against the instance ID expiration interval because the retry interval
is effectively equal to the instance ID expiration interval once we
account for some timer slack.
This is demonstrated by the following strace on pldmd, where we can see
a retried request go out, followed by the report that the request
failed, further followed by the response to the request coming in. Note
the values are string-literal-escaped-octal, so the [ 0x80 0x00 0x03 ...
] byte encoding of the GetPLDMVersions request appears as "\200\0\3...":

```
That is, at 11:56:30.202298 we send out the retry for the request
initiated at 11:56:25.195272 and the reply arrives back at
11:56:30.212366, but in between we've already cancelled the request
handler due to the instance ID interval timer expiring.
Resolve this by removing the explicit configuration of the
response-time-out build parameter setting the per-request response time
to 4.8 seconds, setting its value back to the default of two seconds.
Anecdotal testing of with the following shell script produced no
failures (by inspection of the journal as the iterations executed):
```
for i in `seq 1 30`; do echo $i; ( systemctl stop pldmd mctp-demux && echo 1e78902c.kcs > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ast-kcs-bmc/unbind && sleep 1 && echo 1e78902c.kcs > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ast-kcs-bmc/bind && systemctl start pldmd && sleep 15 ) || break; done
```
