Retry failed HTTP connections in cheerlights.py

As discussed on https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/pico-wireless-pack-fetching-data-from-web/17215/ the cheerlights.py example was stalling on the first HTTP request.

I have added a timeout in this case, so the code will stop waiting and retry after the 60second polling wait period. Users report this does the trick!
