The FC-GS-3 sepc requires to wait for least 3 times R_A_TOV per
sec 4.6.1 "If the Requesting_CT does not receive a Response
CT_IU from the Responding_CT within three times R_A_TOV,
it shall consider this to be a protocol error."

This means added four new states with management server
could add significant delay with multiple retries
on default 12 second timeout(3 * R_A_TOV), so instead
just skip these states on very first timeout on any of
these states to not stuck with states for such longer
period.
