There're different timeouts when communicating with gRPC server,
but only grpc_read_timeout is set when reading a gRPC response.
Please double-check to make sure: 1) there are no external events
that result in connection close; 2) connection is not closed by
another timeout such as keepalive timeout, after a whole response
had been read.  To sort out what's going on, it is useful to have
debug log, see http://nginx.org/en/docs/debugging_log.html
