Auth module crashes when validate_token times out

[wku12]

Describe the bug

It seems that EverestTimeoutError is not handled in Auth module:

Jan 24 10:51:23 everest-manager[23420]: {"SEVERITY": "ERRO", "SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER": "auth:Auth      ", "CODE_FILE": "", "CODE_LINE": "", "MESSAGE": "Timeout while waiting for result of xxx->token_validator:auth_token_validator->validate_token()"}

Thanks for raising this issue, that's indeed something that needs addressing. There's a slightly related PR in everest-framework that makes handling the exceptions that can occur during command calls a bit more explicit but even then the handling ultimately needs to be done in the caller. This would mean having try-catch blocks around command calls and the appropriate error handling/recovering logic.
