Explicitly accept become_success in awaiting_prompt state

If we request escalation with a password, we start in expecting_prompt
state. If the escalation then succeeds without the password, i.e., the
become_success response arrives, we must explicitly move into the next
state (awaiting_escalation, which immediately goes into ready_to_send),
so that we no longer try to apply the timeout.

Otherwise, we would leak the success notification and eventually
timeout. But if the module response did arrive before the timeout
expired, the "process has already exited" test would do the right
thing by accident (which is why it didn't fail more often).

Fixes #13289
