[Self hosted] Keep track of machine state to minimise waiting time

[hershd23]

Current Behavior

Currently we are arbitrarily waiting 10 minutes waiting for the server to get provisioned and started.

https://github.com/layer5io/meshery-smp-action/blob/20c0b6f64f4918c6ad2505810210e0480a409648/.github/workflows/scripts/start-cil-runner.sh#L27

Desired Behavior

We want to optimise on our waiting time by keeping track of the state variable by the machine

Implementation

The logic of this can look like

• If "state" == "provisioning", sleep 10s...
• If "state" == "active", echo "Machine successfully created!" and continue.
• If "state" == "failed", echo "Failed to create machine" and exit.

in the above mentioned bash script.

A little experimentation might be required based on the intervals on which we poll. (We do not want cause anything that might come under a DOS attack :) )

Acceptance Tests

A link to the self-hosted workflow run would be key to get your changes accepted
