Android XMLHttpRequest timeout error trigger onerror instead of ontimeout

[weihanyau]

Description

On Android, the XMLHttpRequest implementation is incorrectly triggering onerror instead of ontimeout. Causing timeout error to be handled as generic error.

Investigated this and found out that this is caused by the switch from using connectTimeout to callTimeout for okHttp in #38953. callTimeout will throw InterruptedIOException instead of SocketTimeoutException but the timeout error catch logic is never updated after the change.

Created #55080 to fix the issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create new XMLtHttpRequest
2. Set a timeout, eg. 3 seconds
3. Add onerror and ontimeout event handler
4. Call an endpoint that will surely timeout, eg. using an online http request and response service https://httpbin.org/delay/10 (this endpoint will return a delayed response in 10 seconds)
5. Notice that the onerror handler is called instead of ontimeout
