imc_rest: Increase default timeout, add elapsed time (#26743)

The IMC interface can be quite slow depending on the XML fragments used.
So we increase the default timeout to 60 seconds, and return the elapsed
time so it is easier to determine what timeout value makes sense from
earlier runs.

We also renamed **imc_xml** to **imc_rest**, now that we still can.

- Any configConfMo change requested has a return status of 'modified', even if there was no actual change
from the previous configuration. As a result, this module will always report a change on subsequent runs.
