Description

This PR addresses a specific issue in the virtual actor handling mechanism. Previously, when sending a request to a virtual actor of a specific kind, and no cluster members were registered under that kind, the request would loop indefinitely, awaiting the joining of a member with the matching kind. If no cancelation token was passed in, it is possible to consume all resources in the sending process.

With the new changes introduced in this PR, such requests to virtual actors will now be governed by a timeout (ActorRequestTimeout). The request will now return TimeoutOrThrow();, if a cluster member corresponding to the requested kind is not found within this timeout period.

Important Consideration

It's important to note that some systems might have been built with the previous behavior in mind, i.e., waiting indefinitely for another member to join. This update could lead to timeouts in such systems, which were not previously encountered. Users should review their system's reliance on this behavior and make necessary adjustments.
