Timeout not converted to int
**Describe the bug**
<!-- A clear and concise description of what the bug is. -->

No request can be made with the current code. The timeout specified has to be an int, but the config stores it as a string.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

```python
reddit.request("tesT")
```

**Expected behavior**

Timeout works and the request goes through.

**Code/Logs**
