Instead of just "ready" → "valid", which may be what we observe when the
server is fast enough, but according to RFC 8555 sec. 7.1.6 the state
actually transitions via "processing" state and we need to account for
that.

It appears Let's Encrypt staging environment now has different timing
conditions and lacme is unable to request certificates due to this
issue.

Thanks to Alexander Borkowski for the report!
