TPM2_CC_Create(0x153) and TPM2_CC_CreatePrimary (0x131) involve generation

The timeout is set to 3min.
Rather than increasing default timeout a new constant is
added, to not stall for too long on regular commands failures.

Why are you radically chaging the default timeout? The commit
message does not tell anything about that change.

Why couldn't we just have two timeouts: one default and one long that
would be at least as long as the longest timeout defined in the spec?
Then we would not have to ever update LAST_CC constant, we could
actually remove it completely.
