fix(nginx,gunicorn): raise send_timeout and proxy_send_timeout for long-running endpoints

Nginx was closing the client connection after exactly 60 seconds on requests
like clip_video (ffmpeg, 5-40 min) because send_timeout and proxy_send_timeout
both default to 60s. proxy_read_timeout was already 2100s but the other two
timeouts were still at defaults.

With proxy_buffering off, Nginx holds the write path to the client open as soon
as the upstream connection is established. If the upstream sends no data for 60s
(e.g. ffmpeg processing), Nginx treats the idle write path as stalled and closes
the client connection, logging 499 (Client Closed Request).

Fixed: raise proxy_send_timeout and send_timeout to 2100s to match
proxy_read_timeout in the main location block.

Also raised the Gunicorn default timeout from 30s to 120s in gunicorn_conf.py
as a belt-and-suspenders measure (AE_API_GUNICORN_TIMEOUT env var takes precedence).
