 /**
  * sets the state as the current state and on the backend.
  * This should only be done:
  * - initially, right after a machine has been created, to set it in a
  * certain state if the state has not been persisted before.
  * - when changing context (since this resets the current state) via
  * $machine->setState($machine->getCurrentState())
  *
  * This method allows you to bypass the transition guards and the transition
  * logic. no exit/entry/transition logic will be performed
  *
  * @param State $state 
  * @param string $message optional message. this can be used by the persistence adapter
  *          to be part of the transition history to provide extra information about the transition.  
  * @throws Exception in case the state is not valid/known for this machine
