blockjobs: add status enum
We're about to add several new states, and booleans are becoming unwieldly and difficult to reason about. It would help to have a more explicit bookkeeping of the state of blockjobs. To this end, add a new "status" field and add our existing states in a redundant manner alongside the bools they are replacing: UNDEFINED: Placeholder, default state. Not currently visible to QMP unless changes occur in the future to allow creating jobs without starting them via QMP. CREATED: replaces !!job->co && paused && !busy RUNNING: replaces effectively (!paused && busy) PAUSED: Nearly redundant with info->paused, which shows pause_count. This reports the actual status of the job, which almost always matches the paused request status. It differs in that it is strictly only true when the job has actually gone dormant. READY: replaces job->ready. STANDBY: Paused, but job->ready is true. New state additions in coming commits will not be quite so redundant: WAITING: Waiting on transaction. This job has finished all the work it can until the transaction converges, fails, or is canceled. PENDING: Pending authorization from user. This job has finished all the work it can until the job or transaction is finalized via block_job_finalize. This implies the transaction has converged and left the WAITING phase. ABORTING: Job has encountered an error condition and is in the process of aborting. CONCLUDED: Job has ceased all operations and has a return code available for query and may be dismissed via block_job_dismiss. NULL: Job has been dismissed and (should) be destroyed. Should never be visible to QMP. Some of these states appear somewhat superfluous, but it helps define the expected flow of a job; so some of the states wind up being synchronous empty transitions. Importantly, jobs can be in only one of these states at any given time, which helps code and external users alike reason about the current condition of a job unambiguously.
