Besu FCU timeout

[jframe]

Besu is timing out on the FCU. Restarting Besu is the only way to fix the error.

Seeing a lot of logs with

@ahamlat if you have a moment

We don't have too much data here to know what is causing the issue, but at least we can improve Besu code, because it is not timing out, Besu threads are waiting forever, and Teku is timing out. I will create a small PR for this case.
