How is the context configuration implemented in the system?

In Go, the context.Context is used to pass information about the lifetime, cancellation of operations, and other important data between goroutines and functions. Context configuration is typically done using functions like context.WithCancel, context.WithTimeout, context.WithDeadline, and context.WithValue.

An example of creating a context with a timeout and passing a value:

ctx := context.Background()
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, time.Second*5)
defer cancel()

ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, "userID", 12345)

// Subsequently, ctx is passed to functions that can cancel the operation on timeout or retrieve userID

Thus, context configuration involves creating a new context based on a parent with the desired parameters (cancellation, timeout, values).
