Document timeout setting for raft snapshots (#12140)
* Document timeout setting for raft snapshots

We don't usually put this kind of information in the documentation, but
we are aware that snapshots can be slow and I could see this message
saving someone a lot of time. Open to closing this PR though if we
definitely don't want this kind of documentation.

### Large Raft Snapshots
Taking and restoring Raft snapshots can exceed Vault's default and recommended
timeout settings. The
[`VAULT_CLIENT_TIMEOUT`](/docs/commands#vault_client_timeout) environment variable can
be used to allow for more time to take or restore a snapshot.
