Added rack-timeout for Puma

It assures that requests are aborted after 60 seconds, otherwise
an exception is raised. This exception is logged by Sentry, also
there is a Prometheus counter for measuring number of requests in each
state.

+# Puma doesn't have any timeout mechanism for terminating long-running
+# requests, to make sure that server is not paralyzed by long-running
+# or stuck queries, we add a request timeout which terminates the
+# request after 60 seconds. This may be dangerous in some situations
