Creating new strategies

[maxbaldanza]

Hi,

Great package 🙌

We'd like to create a new strategy that opens the circuit if a request takes too long for example if a request took longer then 5s X times in X seconds. One way to achieve this is to set the timeout in Guzzle/http client which would throw an exception but the problem with this is that we want the request to continue to process rather than throw an exception after a certain timeout.
Therefore we we're thinking of creating a new Strategy that would track the time it took to process and either say success/failure based on this time.

The problem we have is how we set the Configuration for this timeout because this gets passed to the service but the configuration for this Strategy will be different to the existing ones. Any plans/thoughts on how to change the configuration for new strategies?

Happy to help by the way but I suspect the changes needed may be breaking changes so just thought I'd gather feedback first
