set ReadHeaderTimeout to address G112: Potential Slowloris Attack (gosec)

After discussing in the maintainers meeting, we concluded that Slowloris attacks
are not a real risk other than potentially having some additional goroutines
lingering around, so setting a long timeout to satisfy the linter, and to at
least have "some" timeout.

    api/server/server.go:60:10: G112: Potential Slowloris Attack because ReadHeaderTimeout is not configured in the http.Server (gosec)
                srv: &http.Server{
                    Addr: addr,
                },
    daemon/metrics_unix.go:34:13: G114: Use of net/http serve function that has no support for setting timeouts (gosec)
            if err := http.Serve(l, mux); err != nil && !strings.Contains(err.Error(), "use of closed network connection") {
                      ^
    cmd/dockerd/metrics.go:27:13: G114: Use of net/http serve function that has no support for setting timeouts (gosec)
            if err := http.Serve(l, mux); err != nil && !strings.Contains(err.Error(), "use of closed network connection") {
                      ^
