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.
