NOTIFIER will destroy the dialog as per RFC3265.
But how/why did the UAC destroy subscribe dialog? I think it has to
wait for the NOTIFY.

NOTIFY can come after quite a long time (authorization may take a long
time, if interacting with user, a primary reason that
subscription-state is *finally* conveyed in a NOTIFY message, a
separate transaction)

Anyway, subscribe dialog lifetime is bound (even at proxy, if dialog
stateful) based on expires header 2xx response for subscribe. So I
don't think any other timer is required.
