Exception retrieving extension handlers: local variable 'goal_state' referenced before assignment

See original GitHub issue

I discovered this in 2.2.21.

Exception retrieving extension handlers: local variable 'goal_state' referenced before assignment  Exception retrieving extension handlers: [ProtocolError] Exceeded max retry updating goal state

It is unclear if this issue has existed previous to 2.2.21, or if it is new. Based on my review it appears to have existed previous to this version.

Looks like #1691 seems to solve the issue. No new occurrence in 2.2.46 version. Closing the issue. If it returns, will reopen the issue.

Most of the goal_state variable name issue was resolved by #1392 and now the new ones as seen in the newer agents are seen in get_ext_conf()
