Starts a STUN transaction retransmission timer.
This should be called as soon as you send the message for the first time on
a UDP socket.
The timeout before the next retransmission is set to <em class="parameter"><code>initial_timeout</code></em>, then
each time a packet is retransmited, that timeout will be doubled, until the
<em class="parameter"><code>max_retransmissions</code></em> retransmissions limit is reached.
</p>

To determine the total timeout value, one can use the following equation :
