I have taken code from ftp.c as reference:
```
        if (s->rw_timeout != -1) {
            av_dict_set_int(&opts, "timeout", s->rw_timeout, 0);
        } /* if option is not given, don't pass it and let tcp use its own default */
```

Now it’s obvious that code comes before 
```

    avio: Copy URLContext generic options into child URLContexts
```

Should we remove that part from ftp.c?

It worth to note that there is a small difference between rw_timeout and timeout
option for TCP:

1. timeout apply to accept, read and write
2. rw_timeout apply to read and write, but not accept.

What do you think?
