Adds support for timeout tuples in the form of `{timeout, Time :: timeout(), InfoMessage :: any()}`
in gen_server callback return `action()`. These callback return actions were introduced in OTP-28.
They work similarly to `timeout()` actions, except insead of `timeout` handle_info/2 will receive
the `InfoMessage`.
