The quickstart timeout note explains that timeout is not a time limit on the entire response download, but does not mention that a single float applies to both connect and read timeouts independently, or that a (connect_timeout, read_timeout) tuple can set them separately.

Added a brief clarification to the existing admonition block in docs/user/quickstart.rst with a cross-reference to the advanced timeouts section, which already documents this behavior in detail.

Fixes #7350

The quickstart timeout section didn't explain that a single float value
applies to both connect and read timeouts independently, or that a tuple
can be used to set them separately. Added a brief clarification with a
cross-reference to the advanced timeouts section.

Nice clarification. This makes the quickstart timeout note a lot less ambiguous, and the link to the detailed timeouts section is helpful.
