HostControllerConnectionService connection timeout is not configurable

I am seeing intermittent failures when starting AS7 in domain mode. It seems that this is due to HostControllerConnectionService has hardcoded 15s timeout when trying to connect to DC. I think that this value should be configurable.

HostControllerConnectionService.java:
...
ProtocolChannelClient.Configuration configuration = new ProtocolChannelClient.Configuration();
configuration.setEndpoint(endpointInjector.getValue());
configuration.setConnectionTimeout(15000);
configuration.setUri(new URI("remote://" + hcAddressInjector.getValue().getHostName() + ":" + hcAddressInjector.getValue().getPort()));
client = ProtocolChannelClient.create(configuration);
...

Exception I am getting:
