// Timeout is a middleware that cancels ctx after a given timeout and return
// a 504 Gateway Timeout error to the client.
//
// It's required that you select the ctx.Done() channel to check for the signal
// if the context has reached its deadline and return, otherwise the timeout
// signal will be just ignored.
//
// ie. a route/handler may look like:
//
//	r.Get("/long", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
//		ctx := r.Context()
//		processTime := time.Duration(rand.Intn(4)+1) * time.Second
//
//		select {
//		case <-ctx.Done():
//			return
//
//		case <-time.After(processTime):
//			// The above channel simulates some hard work.
//		}
//
//		w.Write([]byte("done"))
//	})
