Instead of changing the external package's DefaultTmeout, there is an ldap.DialURL that allows for a DialWithDialer option where we can set the timeout.

I looked into this during implementation but I think it will require a lot more changes to this helper library instead of modifying the Dial wrapper. That seemed a lot more risky even though I don't take changing an exported package variable lightly.

@jasonodonnell it looks like this is triggering the race detector in tests, since two tests running in parallel modify ldap.DefaultTimeout. https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/actions/runs/4697499717/jobs/8329395640. I can remove the parallel tests as a workaround, but this is perhaps more reason to switch to DialURL
