Description:
On a JDBC connection with "useCursorFetch" enabled, the timeout set using `Statement.setQueryTimeout(int)` is ignored.

Only tested with connector/J 5.1.49, but likely happens with other connectors and versions.

How to repeat:
Create a statement, set a query timeout, then execute a query that takes longer to run than that timeout.
Example:

```
Statement s = conn.createStatement();
s.setQueryTimeout(1);
s.executeQuery("SELECT SLEEP(3)");
```

When this is executed using a connection with the default "useCursorFetch" disabled, the query times out according to the set query timeout.
When this is executed using a connection with "useCursorFetch" enabled, the set query timeout is ignored.

Suggested fix:
Checking the code of StatementImpl I see that the `timeoutInMillis` is only used if `useServerFetch()` is false.
I believe a CancelTask should be used regardless of whether server fetch is being used or not.

To complement this, maybe the driver could parse the query and add "MAX_EXECUTION_TIME" for that query.

Hello José Fidalgo,

Thank you for the report and feedback.
Per https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-j/5.1/en/

Support EOL for MySQL Connector/J 5.1

Per Oracle's Lifetime Support policy, as of Feb 9th, 2021, MySQL Connector/J 5.1 series is covered under Oracle Sustaining Support. Users are encouraged to upgrade to MySQL Connector/J 8.0 series.

I'm afraid since 5.1 is EOL you may have to upgrade to C/J 8.0 in order to avoid this issue and this report may well be closed as won't fix.

Moreover, this issue seems to be fixed in after Bug #103796, please see Bug #103796

Added the following entry to the Connector/J 8.0.27 changelog: 

"setQueryTimeout() failed to set a timeout for queries when a cursor was used for fetching rows. Thanks to Hong Wang for contributing the fix. "
