Tuning Transitions in the Provisioning FSM?

[Gerrit91]

We can now observe in our real environments, that the metal-api's provisioning FSM may has to consider more transitions or we need to change something on other components.

• [unexpectedly received in state registering]: start installation
  Hammer seems to skip the waiting stage when there is an allocation on the machine (probably reinstall feature?)

• Thu, 01 Sep 2022 15:49:37 UTC PXE Booting [unexpectedly received in state phoned home]: machine sent extended dhcp request
  Probably reinstall feature?

• [unexpectedly received in state waiting]: machine sent extended dhcp request

  Seen on many machines, seems like the hammer does not send a planned reboot?

  Cannot be reproduced, tried with Debug FSM planned reboot event. metal-hammer#94 and it looks just fine.

• Alive [unexpectedly received in state planned reboot]

I think it looks pretty good now, closing.
