Add request timeout and retry to Gemini extraction backend

A timeout-less generate_content call hung the single-threaded extract worker for ~50 min mid-batch. Set an HTTP timeout (120s) plus 4 retries with backoff, mirroring SparkControl._post; transient 504/read-timeouts now self-heal instead of freezing the run.
