Alfredo Moralejo 6d35be11ec Skip actions automatically based on pre_condition results
This patch is implementing skipping automatically actions based on the
result of action pre_condition method. This will allow to manage
properly situations as migration actions for vms which does not longer
exist. This patch includes:

- Adding a new state SKIPPED to the Action objects.
- Add a new Exception ActionSkipped. An action which raises it from the
  pre_condition execution is moved to SKIPPED state.
- pre_condition will not be executed for any action in SKIPPED state.
- execute will not be executed for any action in SKIPPED or FAILED state.
- post_condition will not be executed for any action in SKIPPED state.
- moving transition to ONGOING from pre_condition to execute. That means
  that actions raising ActionSkipped will move from PENDING to SKIPPED
  while actions raising any other Exception will move from PENDING to
  FAILED.
- Adding information on action failed or skipped state to the
  `status_message` field.
- Adding a new option to the testing action nop to simulate skipping on
  pre_condition, so that we can easily test it.

Actions
=======
An ``Action`` is what enables Watcher to transform the current state of a
``Cluster`` after an ``Audit``.
An ``Action`` is an atomic task which changes the current state of a target
Managed resource of the OpenStack ``Cluster`` such as:
- Live migration of an instance from one compute node to another compute
node with Nova
- Changing the power level of a compute node (ACPI level, ...)
- Changing the current state of a compute node (enable or disable) with Nova
In most cases, an ``Action`` triggers some concrete commands on an existing
OpenStack module (Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Ironic, etc.).
An ``Action`` has a life-cycle and its current state may be one of the
following:
- **PENDING** : the ``Action`` has not been executed yet by the
``Watcher Applier``.
- **SKIPPED** : the ``Action`` will not be executed because a predefined
skipping condition is found by ``Watcher Applier`` or is explicitly
skipped by the ``Administrator``.
- **ONGOING** : the ``Action`` is currently being processed by the
``Watcher Applier``.
- **SUCCEEDED** : the ``Action`` has been executed successfully
- **FAILED** : an error occurred while trying to execute the ``Action``.
- **DELETED** : the ``Action`` is still stored in the ``Watcher database``
but is not returned any more through the Watcher APIs.
- **CANCELLED** : the ``Action`` was in **PENDING** or **ONGOING** state and
was cancelled by the ``Administrator``
``Actions`` are created by ``Watcher Planner`` as result of Audit's execution.
``Action`` can't be created, modified or deleted by user.
